3. Keith Jarret, Live at the Blue Note(ECM/HD Tracks)

I actually think that maybe the new Sound Liaison album from Andre Heuvelman, After Silence also could be no.1 or 2,but one album per label is maybe enough.

What is your top 3 ?

I had the same thing with the Brad Mehldau album, at first it did not really register, maybe because of the sound, but then I completely fell in love with the playing.

That was also the case with this weeks special offer on the
http://www.soundliaison.com/ label; Startas Orkester, although the sound is remarkable the music is at at first ... well ...different... but at third listen I completely fell in love with the album.
The  Sound Liaison label has a winter sale going this week, all downloads 10 $/€ that is is 33% off on flac and 50% off on DSD;

Lovely good sounding 44.1 studio master from Linn, only €11 , I guess because of the format.

Great new Bach recording on the Sound Liaison label.
Very very impressive sound stage, and the ensemble plays with a drive seldom heard in the classical field. Highly recommended.

"International elite on the West Side of Copenhagen. Enghave church has been programming concerts with the most prolific musicians specialised in Baroque music ….unsurpassable level of performance!"
Søren Schauser, music editor at the danish newspaper "Berlingske Tidende"

"Full house and baroque music played with fire on the West Side."
Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten

These musicians play straight from the heart, enthusiastic, swinging and in complete agreement with the music.....if this level can be kept on future releases I will be first in line….
...This is a conductor on mission with Bach’s music!......
Review by Bach expert Knud Svendsen in danish organ society magazine

Plenteous expertise from the ensemble but you'd have to pick out Jesenka Balic Zunic's tender playing on the Violoncello da Spalla, Jakob Bloch Jespersen in ideal repertoire for him, and the striking freshness and fluency of Anna Jobrant's soprano solos. It was free, and full.
Andrew Mellor, reviewer for Gramophone magazine

I concur, it is a gorgeous production and every instrument is so well placed and realized.
