a short nap later i was well-recharged..... been itching to find some time to enjoy my stereo....
it's getting late but i could steal some time to do it....
first disc was a male basso hifi test cd........... sound quality is the usual high standards one can expect from modern MIC audiophile recordings..... music arrangement is all new and has a jazzy touch.... some may like it some may not..... there are some classic oldies which i enjoy very much...... since this is my first time with the cd, it's more like a ice-breaking session.... haha
2nd cd into the tray: cai qin lao ge........... by this time, the system components have warmed up nicely and everything was falling into place.... high frequencies were extended and sweet..... soundstaging was realistic and the emotion was coming through...... a very communicative and touching performance......
the recent enhancements have really made a BIG difference..... especially the oyaide r1, this thing is amazing.....
last disc for the night was "selected orchestral works by He Zhan-Hao"..... track 1: violin concerto "butterfly lovers" aka LIANG ZHU is my favourite piece...... this recording is by philips classic featuring the central philharmonic orchestra conducted by Han Zhong-Jie.... if u didnt know, this violin concerto "is a single movement programmatic work based on the well known trafic love story of Liang Shan Bo and Zhu Ying Tai" ............ 3 most important moments in the story were covered, the love of the hero and heroine; the rejection of their proposed marriage and the transformation of the lovers into butterflies after their death...... a moving story indeed......
total track time is 25:40 mins..... to listen one track for 25 mins straight is usually something i dun do.... cos i am quite impatient hehe.......... but this time was different..... the violin, the cello and the rest of the orchestra combined so well making the track so addictive and enchanting that i was stucked to the couch...... of cos the system played its part, i have never heard a more touching performance of this violin concerto ......
awesome....!!!
