Guitarist Ricardo Jesús Gallén played on the first DSD 256 release from Eudora Records - Fernando Sor: Guitar Sonatas - which is the label’s top-selling DSD release.
Now Gallen returns with En Silencio: Latin American Guitar Music, another must-hear performance in Pure DSD 256 Stereo and DSD 256 Multichannel.
The silencing warmth of the recording can be experienced ahead of a purchase of the album by listening to his video performing one of the tracks from the album: Agustín Barrios Mangoré composition La Catedral: III. Allegro Solemne (YouTube video linked below).
For this recording, Sonodore microphones were used to bring the music to the Horus Analog to DSD 256 Converter from Merging Technologies. Eudora notes that "Of course, no DXD conversion and processing was applied, this is a pure DSD256 recording."
En Silencio has a release date of March 16, 2018. But this album is too good to keep listeners waiting that long. So we have it for you today at the Native DSD Music store in Stereo and Multichannel DSD 256 (the recorded DSD bit rate), DSD 128 and DSD 64.
Gonzalo Noqué, producer/engineer of Eudora Records, introduces this gorgeous new DSD 256 album with guitarist Ricardo Gallén in the NativeDSD Blog's "Producer's Notes" section. Gonzalo tells us: "Every time I record in DSD in the 13th Century Church of San Francisco, in Ávila (Spain) I’m marvelled at the acoustics of this location and the ability of the DSD256 format to capture the nuances of the instruments and natural space acoustics.
To bring you the full benefit of this native DSD 256 recording, all the DSD files for En Silencio at the NativeDSD Music store use DSD rendering from the master DSD 256fs Stereo and Surround Sound recording. No DXD conversions, balancing and processing are present on this release."
