Agree, the Praga musicians are not in the league of Argerich/Kovacevich. Their performance of the Bartok Sonata on redbook is stunning CD.For percussion like this sonata, a wide tonal palatte of colours and expanded dynamic range is essential in conveying the subtle varied timbral transient effects produced by the percussion instruments and the two pianos. The drama of the works depend more on these parameters than harmony or melody. So, hearing it well recorded in DSD does convey layers of expression that might not come across in redbook CD recording.
