Welcome aboard Dan.

Nice maiden post on the listening tread. I had never heard of her before. I hope it is the first of many. 

Found the album on Tidal and am listening as I type this.

Good find. Thanks for the heads up.

The Cambridge Singers directed by John Rutter: There is Sweet Music

Collegium Records Direct Metal Mastered  LP

This quote just about says it all:

'I would still consider one four-minute snippet of a cappella singing on this disc, in Stanford's 'The Blue Bird,' the most hauntingly beautiful performance/recording I have ever heard. The control of this small, mixed-voice choir over all musical parameters is quite unbelievable, and this tiny record label, set up especially to record their performances, has captured the essence of their unique qualities to perfection. Friends come to my home to listen to this disc (and, subsequently, all have bought it)---to once let it go would mean never to hear it again!' - Stereophile, 1991 Records 2 Die 4.

Can be had right now for $5 from Music Direct:

Offenbach Melodies_ Arthur Fiedler/Boston Pops



I had to drive my son to a doctor's appointment on Friday and the Dr office just happens to be a few blocks away from Infinity Records, so...... 

This is an original Japanese pressing by Victor Company of Japan. It was released As part of the RCA  Living Stereo Series in the US as LSC-2118, Offenbach in America (I guess in 1957 the war wounds in Japan were still kind of raw and putting the word America on the cover might not have been good for sales, but curiously the correct title is show on the back.  :Dunno )

As far as the pressing goes, I do not have an LP copy of this album, but it does sound nice when compared to the CD. Not as good as what I have come to expect from LSCs, but not bad by any stretch.

24/96 Flac

I do not have an LP of this album but SQ wise these 24/96 files just blow away both the CD copy I got from the library and the Tidal Redbook stream (Which although it sounds better than the CD is no where near as good as the hi res files.)
