High-res Downloads of Orchestral music available


This is a first for the internet. 24-bit/96kHz remastered tape files available for downloading. This music is a MUST download. Some of these tracks are famous performances that are highly sought after. If you have an Off-Ramp Turbo or Turbo2, Off-Ramp I2S or a Transporter, you can play these native 24-bit/96kHz files. They are encoded in FLAC.

The first samples (exerpts) are being offered for download are FREE at this URL:

I didn't account for compression. These are probably around 6 minutes if compressed 50%.
Nice post!

This may be the first time that high rez analog transfers are available for download, but Steve Kimock has been offering high rez digital recordings for a while now.

Anyone have any more?
That sight does look promising.

A little of topic, but here goes: See, also, www.arkivmusic.com for classical music. Some of their music is 24/96. They have 2K out-of-print albums. When you order one of these, they burn a bit-perfect copy to CD-R from the master tapes and mail it to you.

Considering the uncertainty with the way digital rights management is going (with Vista in particular), this may be a safe bet in the near term. Burn the bit-perfect copy from CD-R to your hard drive, and still have the CD-R on hand in case you switch computers.
Another interesting websight is this Linn one:

The tracks are all in WMA format though, so they have to be converted to play on decent players like Foobar or jriver.
