I have hundreds of CDs and vinyl. Lots of money and time getting my audiophile system set up (vinyl and digital). If I had to pick one cd to keep above all others (including SACDs) it would be this one. In my high-end system, nothing sounds better, evokes more emotion, is utterly transformational, than this cd. My equipment is to the level where the real differentiation now occurs at the level of the recording quality. From the quality of the artwork to the music to the pristine engineering of the recording, this is the best of the best from my perspective/listening. What is wonderful is the fact that an ordinary, much maligned format (Redbook CD) turns out to be my most prized music. T Garfinkle and the performer have proven to me that in the music/recording/audiophile industry there are artisans that care deeply about their craft, about conveying and sharing a musical expression and an obsession with every detail of what is offered, that surpasses any expectation I could have when I sit down to enjoy fine music. When I first listened to this cd, I was moved to tears. My deep felt gratitude to ma recordings for caring about the details and delivering a thing of beauty.
