Brief Summary:
andante - 20 August 2003

The Dorian Group, the Troy, New York-based classical recording company, has acquired the audiophile label Reference Recordings, the two companies have announced. According to a Dorian statement posted on the Reference Recordings web site, Reference's "key staff," including the famed engineer Professor Keith Johnson, will remain in place.

It's good to know that Professor Johnson won't have to rely on Spectral as his whole source of income...that is, if he's still the master at RR. This is very good news.
By the way, the aforementioned CD by Felix Hell, Organ Sensation, on RR has absolutely prodigious deep bass. If you're a deep bass freak or you want to give your subwoofer a real workout, or you seek a spectacular subwoofer demo, or you live in an apartment and want to break your lease, this CD should do the trick. Felix Hell is also a hell of a fine young organist, and this CD is very enjoyable musically as well as from an audiophile point of view. But he's playing a big organ here, and the bottom end is really something to hear.
I have good news. The Reference Recordings web site is up and running. Please see http://www.referencerecordings.com/
