Thread: New Ondine label listings are incorrect

The Vasks: Symphony No. 3, Cello Concerto - Storgards and Rachmaninov: Piano Sonata No. 1, Tchaikovsky: The Seasons - Mustonen titles on Ondine should be listed as DSD recordings.

From an email correspondence to me from Seppo Siirala at Ondine:

Seppo Siirala wrote:

...By the way, there are two new DSD productions coming out soon:
ODE 1082-5, Rachmaninov Sonata No. 1 & Tchaikovsky The Seasons, Olli Mustonen, piano
ODE 1086-5, Peteris Vasks: Symphony No. 3 & Cello concerto, Tampere PO John Storgårds, Marko Ylönen, cello.

With best wishes,

Seppo Siirala

Strictly speaking, not incorrect as I didn't specify what they were. Does "DSD production" mean "Original DSD Recording"? It could be argued that all SA-CDs are "DSD productions".

Regardless, the Vasks disc has got to be my disc of the year!

I have been in contact with Ondine´s producer Seppo Siirala that confirmes that the two latest recordings of Sibelius works are "indeed DSD recordings". Also the Vasks and the Rachmaninov/Tchaikovsky by Mustonen are DSD recordings. On the back sleeve the DSD logo are placed before the SACD logo. Ondine plans to release a couple of DSD recordings per year. From listening to them I can confirm that they very obvious sound like "pure DSD".

Could someone please post a review of what seems to be a disc of extraordinary interest. I must admit, I've never heard anything by Vasks but am now most curious.

You could start with Ondine's earlier disc (CD only but excellent sound):

http://www.ondine.fi/index.php?record=272

The "Distant Light" concerto belongs in every serious music lover's collection.

You could also start with the 2 Vasks discs BIS has in the catalogue, choir music and orchestral music, incl. the Violin Concerto. www.bis.se for further derails.
