Beethoven · Mendelssohn - Violin Concerto - Mullova · Gardiner · Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique

Featuring John Eliot Gardiner and his Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique - and Presented in DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 at a 24/96 kHz bit and sample rate, the sound on this disc is awe-inspiring. The 7.1 palette gives a recording engineer the opportunity to map acoustically the orchestra and hall with incredible detail, and this recording does just that. With soloist Viktoria Millova's violin dominating the center channel and the orchestra spread in a wide arc in the frontal soundstage, the sound stage is huge, laterally wide, with full height and deep depth. The balance between the soloist and the orchestra is spot on. Strings have a sweet airy high end delivered without harshness and fatigue. The lower strings have a woody full-bodied character that just blooms in the room without sounding bloated and loose. Woodwinds are expertly captured, and reveal a literal potpourri of tonal color and textures. The LFE is powerful, showcasing the tympani's powerful fundamentals. The surround channels are heavily used, rendering the halls open and highly reverberant quality with impeccable palpability. No audiophile would be disappointed with the sound quality of this release; the audio quality is first rate.
