This recording was snapped up by Chandos Records and was released at the end of June. It’s now available as a CD or download and is getting great reviews. I love it too!!

Dear Remi,
Unfortunately the Trio Goya album was only available for one month. it may well be available in the back catalogue in the New Year but this entirely up to the artist as they retain the rights.
Kind regards,
Susanna

I’m glad you like it Peter, and I agree with you regarding Haydn generally but I too was totally convinced by this recording.

Thanks, Susanna, for the explanation. In the end, it’s an excellent recording and performance, and that’s what counts.

Hi Peter,
Ideally all our recordings will be made in 24bit format wherever possible. Sometimes recordings come to us partially started and recorded in formats other than 24bit and it’s these that we don’t wish to upsample.
Maggie Cole started recording her album for us at Real World at the beginnning of the year and at that point we hadn’t started offering 24bit recordings to members.
I hope this helps,
Susanna

What determines whether or not a recording will made in the 24-bit format vs. 16-bit?

Hi Susanna,
Thanks for the explanation, and I agree with your policy. I tend to find Haydn to be a “fussy” Mozart (yeah, I know, pretty dismissive), but the interview with Maggie Cole, the recording, and the performance won me over.

Dear Peter,
Our policy is to only offer albums in 24bit FLAC if they were recorded in this format. Maggie Cole’s Trio Goya album unfortunately wasn’t so rather than upsampling, we are offering it in its native formats.

Anyone know why this Trio Goya recording isn ‘t offered as a 24-bit FLAC?
