Making music, self-built amplifiers and a passion for reproduced sound with HiFi loudspeakers (Wharfedale at the time), started the quest for becoming a record-producer/engineer around 1979. In 1986 the dream came true. (On the picture the just released album of Supertramp, Breakfast in America.)

Great box with all symphonies. Excellent performance of Anima Eterna on period historical instruments and top recording quality by Northstar Recordings.

> I really like your recording. The organ is beautiful and the organist seems to caress the keys. There is a good balance between direct and reflected sound. Some organ recordings, in a reverberant space, sound distant and echoey. Others have clear, direct sound from the organ with little room sound. Your recording has a good balance between direct and reflected sound. I can hear detail of the organ (action, wind, chiff) along with room sound, but the room sound doesn't obscure the organ sound. On the last track, in particular, the reverberant sound enhances the organ.immensely to produce a truly lovely moment.

> There are only three lines in these sonatas. I can't help but wonder if the reverberant sound might tend to obscure the organ if larger, thicker preludes, fugues and toccatas were recorded.
>
> You live in an area where the greatest number of historical, gorgeous, playable organs located in flattering acoustical environments reside, as well as some of the world's finest organists. I think that you have made an entirely successful recording which I can't wait to listen to again. I sincerely hope that you take advantage of your location and make many more organ recordings.

Very nice Jazz
Excellent album by top notch Dutch jazz musicians! This music is timeless.
Many years ago I acquired these 5 Mendelssohn Symphonies on SACD, ripped them onto my music hard drive and enjoyed them. But I just downloaded these performances in DXD and the sonics are even more spectacular than in DSD64. Really brings these performances to life. Having great fun reacquainting myself with these performances.
Best recordings I know. Reference standard with a nice mix of different types of music.
BEST VERSION EVER
Incredible recording of the six trios! Bravo
I have listened to the Bach Cello Suites many, many times and have several recordings besides this one which I have played countless times.This recording is a fresh take on an old favorite. Both the performance and the recording are excellent. If you have any interest in the history of musical instruments then I highly recommend that you read the liner notes in their entirety as they walk you through the evolution of the cello. Well done!
As always, this recording of Northstar is of an exceptional quality. 'You are there, together with the musicians'. And Lina Tur Bonet and MUSIca ALcheMIca play with passion more being the music themselves instead of 'just' playing it. Fantastic performance, especially the Piazolla's should be heard by all.
Deze SACD is mij niet onbekend en was bij de eerste jaar introductie SACD spelers een populaire SACD.
Werkte zelf toen in een audio video speciaalzaak in mijn woonplaats, helaas bestaat de winkel niet meer.
I'm French and apologize in advance for my poor English.
Having owned the first-generation NADAC for five years (PLAYER 8 CH, POWER & CLOCK LN), I've just switched to the new models (NADAC D & C).
The previous one was already really good, but the new one pushes the limits of what's possible !
Every aspect of music reproduction, down to the smallest detail, and in an extremely natural way, is perfectly reproduced.
I thought I knew perfectly well certain recordings that I've been listening to for years, but these new NADACs make me rediscover these pieces of music !
Master Fidelity's development work is outstanding.
Many thanks to Bert for distributing this product in France, giving us access to it.
As well as for the speed with which he answers questions about these products and the commercial aspects.
I highly recommend it!
Discover these new NADACs, it's a unique experience !
These SACDs are excellent recordings. They also cover some music genres which I do not usually listen to.
It would be useful to learn how SACDs could be listened to with a PC, The CD track is not a problem, but the SACD track requires some special software. My AK240 can play DSD files, should this be able read the SACDs?
Als o.a. een Mozart liefhebber is dit album een pareltje. Ik ga hier niet de compositie en vertaling daarvan door de musici uitleggen. Dat is voor de specialisten hierin. Maar raakt deze uitvoering mij? Jazeker!
I’ve been enjoying this superb performance of Prokofiev’s 5th in DSD256 for about 3 years. It’s become one of my favorite pieces of classical music. A roller coaster of different moods and varying dynamic contrasts. But I recently got a NADAC DAC and Click, and downloaded the DXD version, which is the “edit file.” Wow, now I am experiencing the microphone feed. A revelatory experience . Bravo maestro Gaffigan, and Bert’s deft recording technique.
