Just got this from Presto a week ago. Easily my favorite solo piano set, and the recoding is amazing.

High praise. No need to justify, I will listen. 
PS I’m hearing track 1 and it is impressive.

Thoroughly enjoying this newly acquired release from 2018. It’s 115 minutes of delightful Galant chamber music which I got as a flac download from Qobuz for under $11 - -

Utter transparency. Abundant detail. Extreme delicacy and nuance. A soundstage to die for. Unrestrained dynamics and immense power. This is a recording to cherish, a recording to celebrate… This Pure DSD256 album from Gonzalo Noque and Eudora Records is a tour de force of orchestral recording magic. Don’t let anyone tell you a full commercial recording in Pure DSD256 is not possible. Here it is.
My review with free sample download of the Pure DSD256 file (track 4, the first movement of Nights in the Gardens of Spain) is available here.

@Rushton I hope that you don’t mind me stealing your thunder.
(edit: I see now that I didn’t steal any thunder. 
)
I just saw this now.
I am intrigued!
Among other things, there is a free download sample in DSD 256 and a 352.8kHz DXD/PCM file.

RE: Homeland [Pure DSD] [Exclusive Early Release]
Just finished my first playthrough. Wow!
If you like your deltas sigma modulated,
Your noise well shaped with the sound full and curvaceous
And the distortion neatly swept under the rug and out of sight,
Give this one the proverbial spin!
Note: I have the stereo 2 channel, DSD 128 version.

I would love to know where you bought/downloaded a DSD copy of this. It’s my absolute favorite “The Planets”
@carbonF1 is your connection. That reference was in one of his posts.
Good luck.
This was once released by HDTT in DSD256, back around 2018. It has since been deleted from their catalog. It may come back in another 10 years or so.
Hi, I bought each of these direct from the Stereo Sound store (https://www.stereosound-store.jp/c/music) and used a proxy service to import them. No downloads, unfortunately, the data is stored on blu ray rom discs. It’s been a few weeks but they are well worth the trouble and expense. I should probably update the “Best DSD256” thread, just trying to put all of the thoughts into words
That’s very interesting, I wonder why it was removed. Hope it comes back, would be interesting to see if there are any differences from what was done in Japan, even if it’s just equipment.
Unrelated, but I hope MD’s In a Silent Way gets an eventual release, I remember seeing it in the Future Releases section but was removed. The MoFi master is very good but I bet HDTT could make it even better
Thanks for this info, @Rushton. I have been searching for a DSD version of this performance for a bit now. I remembered hearing about that HDTT copy, but that was before I had the ability to play DSD files.
One can hope…
Very enjoyable. The standout work is the 19 min. long trio by J. G. Graun which is utterly beguiling!

Just got a couple of Wilson recordings in 45rpm. I already have the 33rpm version and want to see how the 45pm compares. Good as the 33rpm’s are, he 45rpm’s gives you even more density and resolution as expected.
Back in one of the earlier audio shows, I met David Wilson and he was demostrating his new at the time, WHOW subwoofer, the size of a coffee table. It had a huge 18" driver in it. He used two of his recordings, the “Center Stage” and the “Winds of War and Peace” and he told me how different the bass drum was tuned in the two recordings. One was a whole lot tighter than the other. You can really feel the difference with the WHOW system, or any other system for that matter!!
I don’t have the WHOW, but my Wilsons are very dynamic in the bass and do go below 20hz in my room, and when I played Liberty Fanfare in “Winds of War and Peace”, I almost had a heart attack, it was so sudden, massive, tight, and powerful!! These are definitly recordings to show off your speaker system if it have the bass capabilities.
