I thought that I would try out "In Motu" from
https://trptk.comUnfortunately they happily took my money, didn't provide a working download link, or respond to email.
I asked my CC for a refund. Caveat emptor.

I downloaded that specific release on 9/7 without any issues. I downloaded Remgewogen on 10/18, too. After payment, I just click on "Orders" or "Downloads" to initiate delivery.

Hmm. I guess I should take it personally.
I got this error when I clicked on the download link

And they never replied to my email.

Ah. Well, I must admit that I have faced that several times in the past. Sometimes it took weeks before they fixed the problem but they always did. I am not making an apology for them; I think it is unacceptable. All I am saying is that they ain't dead.

And they never replied to my email.

Don't take that personally either. I think they are busy making recordings and do not pay timely attention to the website.

I'm planning on getting it, but not in a rush. Have a large pile.

Playing now while doing some work. Thanks for the tip.

I think he has a good handle on it. Quite exciting but, so far, I play the MacMillan Larghetto more often.

Rave from David Hurwitz for the new Bartok disc on BIS:

 

[J. PUPSTER]

Just at HRAudio.net perusing the newer titles and found these two, not sure they've been mentioned here yet, or even if they have been released yet.
The "Scenes from the Kalevala - Slobodeniouk" has an Apple Music link at the bottom to sample some of it.

Any info on these two?

FWIW, I had a chance to hear excerpts from the full-Atmos mix at AES. Quite impressive.

What's on Apple Music is definitely the real (Atmos) deal, by the way; it's just that the album itself isn't marked as Atmos, since it contains both an audio and a video track. Once you start the audio, though, you can see--and hear--right away what's what.

I'd still like to be able to buy an mp4 download of the Atmos version, though, so Kal, if you can call in any favors (not counting the 40-channel WAV), well...inquiring minds want to know--f there are any plans to offer it for sale, that is. I can't get anyone at SFS Media to answer my VMs or emails.

It must be a good performance to remaster. I have a few versions of this work but not by LEOPOLD.
