Carmen Meets kharma Live
Carmen Meets Kharma Live - Carmen Gomes, vocals (Cajan Witmer, piano; Marcel van Engelen, drums; Peter Bjornild, bass) -STS Digital multichannel SACD 611126:
This SACD from The Netherlands was obviously at least partly sponsored by the Dutch makers of the great-sounding, outrageously beautiful and expensive Kharma loudspeakers - they’re more prominently featured on the front cover art than the singer. Philips, Marantz and Siltech were also heavily involved. The background or nationality of singer Gomes is not revealed; she’s young, blonde and seems to have no accent, but I found her enunciation somewhat slovenly. Her voice is superb and she tackles a variety of tunes, of which only two of the dozen total are not either her originals or her arrangements. The two exceptions are Billie Holiday’s Billie’s Blues and Gershwin’s Summertime, the latter opening the album. The producers of this SACD adopted a variation of the center channel approach used on the James Taylor SACDs. Carmen’s voice is not 100% in the center channel but only a rolled-off low-level version of it is audible in the left and right front channels. If you don’t have a center channel you’ll have to listen to the stereo mix of this SACD. The surrounds are used only for a feeling of the room’s natural ambience, with some sounds - such as higher-pitched percussion - standing out in the reflective acoustics. The live audience is amazingly quite during the music - the liner note writer attributes this to their all being subscribers to a Dutch audio magazine. Had they made just a low-level babble it would have contributed to the envelopment feel of the surround. But what really wakes you up to this being a live session is the audience applause between tunes. Applause has always been a great audio test source, and here it demonstrates how seamlessly your front and surround speakers create the sounds around you. Tunes: Summertime, Heaven is a State of Mind, Pastora, I Believe, Take it Al, I’ll Pay the Band, Gazing at the Sun, Green and Blue, Soul, Billie’s Blues, September, It’s About Time.

每次让我听到很陶醉的SACD - Carmen Meets Kharma Live, 里面的录音很有LP的感觉,很温暖,细节很多。
因为此碟为音乐会现场实况录音,其中有两点非常值得欣赏,首先是本碟录制质素奇高,在荷兰以五声道DSD制式灌录,再加上一大批发烧级录音的监听器材之助,获得的音效完全达到录音业之最高标准,高低频延伸尽致,人声和乐器质感超凡,令人咋舌。用靓声的高级系统来重播这张天碟,肯定任何耳朵最挑剔的发烧友都会为之动容。
