This was from last night’s listening session. As with almost all of my listening sessions, they are a combination of vinyl and digital.
Charles Wourinen (one of my top 5 composers)- Chamber Concerto for Cello and 10 Players, and Ringing Changes for Percussion Ensemble
I tend to listen mostly to the Cello Chamber Concerto more than the percussion piece, but if anyone really wants to evaluate the soundstage and imaging of their system, it would be hard to find a better piece than Ringing Changes. It produces a well defined soundstage, with extremely well defined musicians within it. Very natural sounding.
Musically, it’s pretty angular, thorny sounding, so YMMV.
