Gregorio Paniagua & Atrium Musicae de Madrid La Spagna (2 UHQCD)

Spanish dances from the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, recorded on period instruments by a septet under the direction of Gregorio Paniagua, released on a Swedish classical label, are typically not the stuff of audiophile dreams. In this case, however, everything is different. The Swedish label BIS landed a hit in the world of early music in 1980 with this release - and also a group of astonished audiophile record listeners achieved completely new musical pleasure with instruments such as a spinet, a bass crooked horn or a metallophone and of course the Spanish guitar.
The legendary recording is now available as an Ultimate HQ disc from Audionautes in Italy. It was not reassembled from the original master, but from the previous session tapes; seen from the tapes that were later assembled into a master.
UHQCD stands for Ultimate High Quality Compact Disc and is a joint development of the Japanese CD replication company Memory-Tech and the Audio Quality CD Company from Hong Kong. Unlike conventional CDs, UHQCDs are not pressed from polycarbonate, but cast from a photopolymer and cured with UV light. To protect the softer photopolymer, another layer of high-purity polycarbonate is applied as scratch protection. The combination results in a significantly reduced reflection of the laser light inside the CD and an unmatched precise edge transition between pits and lands of the CD. UHQCDs are 100% compatible with normal CD players. Musically, the result is a sound strongly reminiscent of analog master tapes.
