Toccata and Fugue: Organ Surround Illusion – Ale� B�rta (24bit-88kHz Stereo/5.1 FLAC)

Quite a pricey import (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B0067MWU0S/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new) now by all accounts. Track 1 is quite possibly the best version of Toccata and Fugue in D minor I’ve ever heard. Both the recording AND the performance. The timing is impeccable and at times you can even hear the reeds opening/closing. As I’ve stated before…the bass will facilitate the shitting of ones pants if played through a sizeable Hi-Fi system.

Tracklist:

JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH (1685—1750)
01. Toccata and Fugue in D minor BWV.565 (09:28)
02. Chorale "Jesus bleibt meine Freude" BWV.147 (04:17)
03. Chorale "Wachet auf ruft uns die Stimme" BWV.645 (04:41)

JOANNES BRAHMS (1833—97)
04. Chorale Preludo "Herzlich tut mich verlangen" Op.122-10 (03:14)
05. Prelude and Fugue in G minor (06:36)

FRANZ LISZT (1811—86)
06. Prelude and Fugue on the name of B-A-C-H S.260 (12:38)

C�SAR FRANCK (1822—90)
07. Prelude, Fugue and Variation Op.18 (09:51)

L�ON BOELLMANN (1862—97)
08. IV Toccata — "Suite gothique" Op.25 (03:34)

OLIVIER MESSIAN (1908—92)
09. IX Dieu parmi nous — "La nativite du Seigneur" (1935) (08:14)

Method:

1. SACD .ISO (Ripped using modified PS3)
2. Individual DSD tracks extracted (custom .bat file)
3. DSD to 24bit-88kHz PCM using Weiss Saracon [0.0dB Gain] (WAV Extensible format)
4. WAV Gain Checked using Dynamic Range Meter (Foobar2000)
5. Step 3 repeated with correct gain applied to match output of original SACD
6. WAV Batch converted to FLAC format
7. Metadata applied with MP3Tag (or manually in this case)

Please PM for links (http://forums.ffshrine.org/private.php?do=newpm&u=477848), specifying ‘Stereo’, ‘Surround’ or ‘Both’

NB: Spectral analysis reveals not much going on above 15kHz throughout. This is possibly due to a large cat being stuck in one of the flues, the nature of the instrument/mic/recording or a limitation of the source material itself (though I’m loathe to say this)

Thank you very much for the link, merrick. Unfortunately, perhaps because I do not have a high quality sound system, my pants remain quite clean. On the other hand, that’s money saved on dry cleaning… and I did enjoy the music nevertheless!

Thanks Mr Merrick,

I will enjoy the 24/88.2 FLAC 2.0
I also downloaded part 01 at FLAC 5.1 as a test and played it on my PC using foobar2000 successfully. My AV Receiver can’t play FLAC 5.1, not sure any can. This would have to be re-encoded as DTS 5.1 or other multichannel container I think.
