New DVD-Audio music releases and talk about the latest players.

Also worth mentioning . . .

. . . are the "Bucharest Sessions" from Dr. Mark Waldrep's AIX Records.

These discs are single-layer DVD-5s which are packed with alternate mixes to suit every DVD player. As well as the 5.1 in 96kHz MLP, they also have DTS & Dolby multichannel, AND also LPCM stereo in 96kHz. As a result of the above, play time is between 45mins and 50mins.

My favorites include:-

~ Marcello/Handel/Vivaldi [respectively: (a) Oboe concerto; (b) Organ concerto; (c) Sinfonias];
~ Mozart Variations/Schumann Fantasie (piano solos);
~ Scarlatti/Beethoven: woodwind quartets;
~ Mozart: Symphony nos. 26 & 41 / Jupiter;
~ Chopin: Four Ballades (piano solo) played by Anita Chang -- this one is a regular AIX title whcih is a DVD-14 with DVD-A on one side, and DVD-Video (with 'live' visual footage) on the other side. Stunning sound quality.

I should also mention another excellent AIX DVD-A which I recently bought: Frédéric Chopin "Selected Piano" Works played by the talented Roberto Prosseda. This latest one comes as a dual-layer DVD-9, and the playing time (a full hour) is longer than previous AIX releases. Moreover, and it comes with a CD of the same music which I have in my car CD changer. It is good to see AIX releasing more classical again.
