  November 26, 2012

This is a stunning disc of violin and cello works by 20th century composers. It is one of the most amazing sounding SACDs I've heard. But first the music...

Shame about the fan noise though... Mine's been good value as a BD/DVD player and for Tiger Woods golf etc. But now my tendonitis is too bad I can't use it for the latter, and my Cambridge Audio universal has replaced it for the former. Still have it hanging around though. ... more
