"The Absolute Sound Super Disc List" The overture and a new suite from CANDIDE, and orchestrations of FIVE SONGS, with mezzo Beth Clayton. Three Meditations from MASS feature cellist Anthony Ross, and this unusual program ends with the whimsical, rousing DIVERTIMENTO FOR ORCHESTRA. "...one of the finest recordings I've ever heard." --Al Fasoldt, Fanfare Leonard Bernstein's classic operetta Candide is full of infectious music. A new orchestral suite from this magical score has been arranged by long-time Bernstein collaborator Charlie Harmon, and this is its world premiere recording. Eiji Oue (a Bernstein protégé) and the Minnesota Orchestra, worked closely with the arranger in rehearsing and performing the suite prior to recording, so they bring to it a unique authority. REFERENCE RECORDINGS is a well known audiophile label. Indeed "Professor Keith O. Johnson" has been associated with many cutting edge recording examples / techniques not only on the software side of the business, but in the hardware side as well - the highly known and respected "Spectral" brand name comes to mind immediately. Their music software (both CD and LP) competes with the likes of other audiophile labels such as; MFSL, Sheffield Lab, Wilson Audio, Opus 3, Mark Levinson, Proprius, etc.. Many of the company's issues have been associated with sonic spectaculars, more specifically, with The Absolute Sound (TAS) magazine, or as it's known in audiophile circles "HP's Super Disc List" (Harry Pearson) as is this title, which is on "The Absolute Sound Super Disc List"!
