What are you currently listening to (Classical)?

They are. I am running Roon and just take screen snapshots as it shows the exact album cover.
Alas, most classical lovers don't like Roon and prefer JRiver because they can organize their music in folders which Roon does not allow. For my needs where Classical is a portion of what I listen to it is fine. Here is a review I did of Roon although it has grown a lot since then: http://audiosciencereview.com/forum...er-and-library-management-software-review.18/

John, I know you commented on that in the past; but irregardless, today, when you listen to a suberb hybrid SACD music recording (stereo or/and mulltichannel)...how are you emotionally involved in the performance?
Now, the exact same question, but this time from an excellent music recording on a stereo (or mono) album (LP @ 45 or 33 1/3).
Is the emotional involvement different, higher, more higher, or superior?
Thx in advance. :b

The format matters less than the quality of the performance. I do find well recorded vinyl (from analog sources) to generally have the most realistic sound, and therefore better emotional involvement, but well recorded SACDs or hi-res files can come close--depends on the the original recording techniques. But it's the musicians that produce the most emotion in me.
Rihm. Dark and mostly lyrical. Good, if slightly distant sound.
Symphony No.1. This is a hi-res download--24bit/192khz, the same as used for the master tape, so presumably there has been no degradation. Regardless, it sounds great and is very well performed.

I finished listening to this. Wow, the Mantovani (Bruno, not the Mantovani who wrote light music!!) is very intense; so is the Dusapin. Both are very well played and recorded. All three are live recordings of the premiere, so there's a little audience noise, but it's not too intrusive.
Thanks. Streaming this through Tidal as I type this and it is delightful.Stellar playing and reference sound. My only complaint is the rather short (57 min) playing time--could easily have included Op.117, 118, or 119.
Indeed. He has plenty of power and intensity when the music calls for it, but he can also produce the most delicate, shimmering pianissimo passages, too.
