Very Highly Recommended 24/96 files with classical music from a fantastic French label Aparté. Aparté is a French classical music record label founded in 2010 by Nicolas Bartholomée, director of Little Tribeca recording studios. Bartholomée had earlier founded the recording studio Musica Numeris in the late 1980s, and the Ambroisie label in 1999, later sold to Naïve Records.
Files are just with fantastic sound quality plus great artistic quality.

Especially I can recommend this recording:

Ultimate test for violin sound. With Devialet and Sonus Faber loudspeakers it is just a pure pleasure.

I am happy that You are happy. This is really an excellent recording of violin. Reference quality of sound and music.
If You like classical music and baroque opera this is one of the best album from 2013. Same label and also full 24/96. Great artistic value.

Aparte is now my top notch record label in 24/96 files. And it is French as Devialet;-) So, merci France...

Great recommendation! Lovely performance in fine sound. Only listened to it once so far but will certainly be returning to it. I already had the Handel and agree it's a high point of 2013.
Another really nice Handel recording I've been listening to lately is Dunedin Consorts's Acis & Galatea on Linn:

If you guys haven't heard it, try to have a listen.

I also have the Dunedin Consort album, their Bach St Matthew Passion, Mass and Handel Messiah are also very good.
By the way, the latest from Storioni Trio is a Beethoven Triple concerto and Archduke Trio. Instead of PentaTone this one is from Challenge Classics and is available in SACD only.
I ripped the DSD layer using my PS3 SACD ripper and transcoded it to 24/88.2. The music is fantastic and so is the sound quality.
Highly recommended.

I particularly love the bass-baritone Matthew Brook on the A & G album, especially "O ruddier than the cherry". It cracks me up. I also have those other Dunedin recordings. Just got the Messiah but haven't listened to it yet. The group seems to always get it right. John Passion is also fantastic. Gotta look into the Beethoven.
