John Sunier of Audiophile Audition reviews the latest of the Reference Mastercuts Series — Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances/Vocalise:
“When this recording first came out on HDCD CD in 2001, Soundstage! named it one of their best recordings of the year, and three reviewers for The Absolute Sound said it was one of the best releases of the year. It was nominated for a Grammy in 2003. Now with the mildly burgeoning vinyl market, Reference Recordings has made it available in its re-born Reference Mastercuts vinyl series, and on the latest 200 gram vinyl rather than the usual 180 grams for audiophile vinyl releases…
“The combination of the Symphonic Dances’ spectacular orchestrations, the great playing of the Minnesota Orchestra, and the superb remastering by Reference Recordings makes this an audiophile winner all the way.” — John Sunier, Audiophile Audition
