AUDIOPHILE AUDITION focuses on recordings of interest to audiophiles and collectors, with an accent on surround sound for music, and on all hi-res disc formats. Over 100 SACD, DVD Video/Audio and standard CD reviews are published during each month, and our archives go back to January 2001.
Our July drawing/giveaway is for a CD collector aficionado of the Bach Cantatas. It is the complete set of all the Bach Cantatas performed by leading soloists, the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra and Choir, and conducted by Ton Koopman. This is a 67-CD boxed set from Challenge Records that retails for $700! We just reviewed it here. The set includes not just the sacred cantatas but also the arias, minor masses and secular cantatas. Bass soloist Klaus Mertens especially shines. Each CD is in a cardboard sleeve listing the works on the disc. Koopman is the only performer to have recorded the complete Bach organ cycle as well as the complete cantatas. To be eligible, please register this month at our simple, non-intrusive form. The winner will be announced next month. More details on our July Editorial Page.
