BTW, we recently had a thread that covered this topic, you might look for it. Cheers. Craig.

Most people have never heard/seen the soundstage produced, and the fact that it's familiar work seems to double the revelatory response. Obscure? Jean Danton's "American Dreamers" with piano reveals an astonishing soprano in a tremendously-real acoustic space (Jordan Hall) with great Steinway D comping. You won't bother with Krall/Warnes/Barber any more! (Just kidding) !
