Linn Records Super Audio Collection Sampler Vol. 5 (HYBRID SACD)

The fifth collection of tracks originally compiled from Linn's Super Audio CD catalogue. 

Our commitment to excellence is intrinsic to the music we make and we are proud to be able to highlight the breadth of talent in the Linn catalogue with this, our fifth sampler in the series, and the first to be available in Studio Master 192 quality*.

Enjoy unsurpassed interpretations of modern day classics from jazz legends; plus a brand new track from Bob Dylan specialist Barb Jungr, which "perfectly captures the fragile longing of his lyrics" (The Independent).

Baritone Peter Harvey and flutist Katherine Bryan released critically acclaimed Linn debuts, the latter's concerto album was named a 'Recommended' recording by Gramophone. The Retrospect Ensemble's Bach Oratorios disc was named 'Classical Record of the Week' by The Sunday Times and features outstanding performances from soloists Carolyn Sampson (soprano), Iestyn Davies (countertenor), James Gilchrist (tenor) and Peter Harvey (bass).

The wealth of vocal talent in Linn's catalogue is represented with tracks from the Dunedin Consort and the Prince Consort.

In the interests of providing a cohesive collection at one sample rate, the following tracks gave been upsampled from the original recordings: track 4 has been upsampled from 24/44.1 and tracks 9 and 15 have been upsampled from 24/88.2. Please note only the tracks on the sampler are upsampled, the original recordings remain at the original sample rate at which they were recorded in the studio.
