I received my copy of the new Dupre box set at my office yesterday, and put the first disk into my CD player at home for a spin. It’s 9:30 PM and all I can say is WOW! I live in a one bedroom condo and, naturally, my system has to be modest due to space constraints. But the sound coming out of those speakers was so pure and deep that I was afraid the neighbors would complain! And imagine, the source of this sound is close to 60 years old, and it sounds better than practically anything recorded today.
The booklet is amazingly wonderful. Incredible amounts of background info both on the recordings, the recording team, and Dupre.
Messrs Fine and crew, I salute you!
