專輯中文名: 北歐之聲 專輯英文名: 2L the Nordic sound - 2L audiophile reference recordings 藝術(shù)家: Various Artists 音樂類型: 試音碟 資源格式: FLAC 版本: [SACD - 2.0 LPCM 24bits/96KHz] 發(fā)行時(shí)間: 2009年05月26日 地區(qū): 挪威 簡(jiǎn)介:  專輯介紹: 這個(gè)月有朋友從美國(guó)回來,，照例在Amazon訂購了一些商品請(qǐng)他攜回。在網(wǎng)上購物時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)這套BD唱片在特價(jià),，毫不考慮就買了下來,。為什么？因?yàn)?L這家挪威小廠,，在去年獲得葛萊美獎(jiǎng)古典類別的多項(xiàng)提名,，其中一項(xiàng)就是多聲道錄音工程,。因此,，我也想藉著這個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)聽聽看這家廠商真正的錄音實(shí)力。2L是Lindberg Lyd的縮寫,，Lyd就是挪威文聲音之意,，Lindberg則是創(chuàng)辦人兼錄音師 Morten Lindberg之名。Morten Lindberg年輕時(shí)就讀錄音工程科系,，當(dāng)同學(xué)們多半選擇走入流行音樂界工作之際,，Morten Lindberg卻堅(jiān)持走古典錄音的路，因此在畢業(yè)前就已經(jīng)有數(shù)十張錄音在市面上發(fā)行,。在出社會(huì)后,，Morten Lindberg替BIS、EMI等國(guó)際古典音樂大廠錄音,，錄音工作室就是Lindberg Lyd,，接下來再以2L之名成立自己廠牌，現(xiàn)在錄音工作室有一半的時(shí)間是在灌錄自己唱片公司的作品,，一半時(shí)間仍接受其他廠牌錄音工程的委託,。 多聲道像是雕塑 與一般唱片公司不同的是：2L非常堅(jiān)持灌錄多聲道的音樂。Morten Lindberg在唱片介紹中表示：兩聲道錄音像是一張油畫,，再怎么描繪,，還是在同一個(gè)平面上的畫面；多聲道則像是雕塑作品,，能夠從不同的角度觀賞,，而得到更不同的趣味。因此,，2L早期的唱片就是以多聲道進(jìn)行錄制,，用SACD發(fā)行,。到了藍(lán)光時(shí)代，Morten Lindberg更發(fā)現(xiàn)了藍(lán)光碟片不但在影像方面追求高傳真,，在聲音方面更是有超越DVD-Audio的容納能力,！購買一般的BD機(jī)種，就能夠得到比以往DVD-Audio機(jī)更優(yōu)秀的音樂重播能力,，這樣還等什么呢,？於是2L在前年就推出全世界第一張純音樂BD唱片，也就是獲得葛萊美獎(jiǎng)提名的「Divertimenti」專輯,。 這張BD精選集在2009年推出,，BD片收錄的音軌包括了：DTS-HD Master Audio 192kHz / 24-bit五點(diǎn)一聲道音軌、LPCM 192kHz / 24-bit五點(diǎn)一聲道音軌與LPCM 192kHz / 24-bit兩聲道音軌,。為什么五點(diǎn)一聲道要用兩種格式進(jìn)行收錄,？Morten Lindberg表示，2L以后的BD專輯都會(huì)用DTS-HD Master Audio格式收錄,，但是有很多人不理解無損失壓縮編碼的原理,，誤以為DTS-HD Master Audio聲軌的聲音會(huì)有壓縮失真，因此他決定把LPCM聲軌也一并收錄,，讓這些音響迷們自己比較后能夠心服口服,。 包裝內(nèi)還有一張我在BD機(jī)與環(huán)繞擴(kuò)大機(jī)的組合下聽了這張BD片，我只能說：真的非常驚人,！2L對(duì)於多聲道的概念與眾不同,，有些多聲道的錄音，是演奏者將聆聽者包圍在中央,，讓聆聽者有不同於兩聲道聆賞的新穎樂趣,。雖然這種方式一定有音響迷們會(huì)覺得怪異，但是這些錄音的音質(zhì)真的很棒,，在多聲道的加持下,，那種栩栩如生、高解析度的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)感更為強(qiáng)烈,。說了半天,，我猜讀者們一定在心中暗罵：我家又沒有藍(lán)光機(jī)，推薦這片有什么用,？別急,，好康的留到最后講：2L的BD片里面都是雙片裝，另外一片曲目完全相同,，但是是混血SACD,，也就是包括了五點(diǎn)一聲道、立體聲SACD,，與一般的CD層,。無論你使用的是什么光碟機(jī),，都能夠享受2L唱片的錄音精華，這下你還等什么呢,？ The Nordic Sound – 2L Audiophile reference recordings is one of the labels’ Pure Audio Blu-rays, featuring 19 (mostly complete) tracks from various SACDs and a few Pure Audio Blu-rays. It can be listened to without the need for a screen to navigate through a menu; it behaves just like a regular CD. On the back of the case is a color code for the different encodings: when pushing the red button on your remote you listen to 5.1 DTS-HD MA (which is also the default), green switches to 5.1 LPCM and yellow to 2.0 LPCM. There is a basic menu with directly selectable track numbers and a cover-flow style display for the artworks of the corresponding album. You can also switch between the different encodings with three (also color coded) menu buttons . 2L is dedicated to Norwegian composers and performers spanning a musical repertoire from Bach to contemporary improvisation. The same diversity is also reflected on this sampler, featuring works by Mozart, Haydn, Britten and Schoenberg but also Plagge, Nordheim, Nystedt and Gjeilo among others. Even though the main focus could lie solely on the audio quality it should be noted that the performances are on a very high level throughout. Marianne Thorsen and the TrondheimSolistene (track 1) make for a brilliant start with the Allegro from Mozart’s violin concerto in D Major. This SACD was declared a ‘Record to die for’ by STEREOPHILE and it has indeed replaced my reference recording by Julia Fischer on Pentatone. The same chamber orchestra performed the ‘Divertimenti’ released as a Blu-ray/SACD set (track 17), for which they were nominated at the 2009 Grammy awards for best small ensemble plus the recording was nominated for best surround sound album and best engineered album. It is my current reference disc for classical surround sound. The Dena Piano Duo (track 2) play Mozart’s Sonata for 2 pianos with a clarity (both in performance and in sound) that I haven’t heard before. It is also available as a Pure Audio Blu-ray. Ola Gjeilo (track 8 ) captivates the listener with a unique blend of Jazz, classical and popular music. Tasteful piano playing combined with trumpet and cello – beautiful. Sl?ttetrallin (track 10) is for Norwegian folk songs what scat is for Jazz: a way to present vocal music without actual lyrics. It is very well performed, however the left surround singer, due to the lower pitch, seems very dominant, thus unbalancing the surround mix. I prefer the stereo version for this track. Nordheim’s colorazione (track 3) starts out with a wild collage of percussion sounds followed by minimalistic electronica/synthesizer fragments. It is very aggressively mixed to the surrounds and sounds simply huge! This and the orgelimprovisata over Deilig Er Jorden (track 18) will show you if there are any loose parts in your listening room; neighbours and bass sensitive wives beware! There are many more tracks from Elliott Carter to Nystedt’s Immortal Bach that deserve serious listening.
