Hope
As Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela takes his last long walk to his final freedom I hope we all can gain some hope from what his life can teach us.
“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.” — Nelson Mandela
A longtime audiophile demonstration disc. Hope will show off your system’s dynamic range as well as any record ever released. Hugh Masekela, the outstanding South African trumpeter, assembled a 7-piece group & recorded this great set live at Washington, D.C.’s Blues Alley. The songs stretch over a period of nearly 5 decades & serve as an informal guided tour of Masekela’s life. The songs are honest & bare, & as for the sound – WOW!
“…Hope is one of those intensely visceral, large as life, & immediately present recordings that will make pretty much any system sound at least very good, & will cause better ones to raise goose bumps.” – Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound, August 2008
“…The high quality original mix plus Analogue Productions’ superb mastering has resulted in a terrific, very transparent sonic with great impact.” – John Henry, Audiophile Audition
“A stunning demo disc to test or show off any stereo system.” – Playback, June 2008
“Here’s another masterpiece from Chad Kassem & Kevin Gray…you would swear that you are listening to a master tape in your living room…this one is great for showing off what your stereo system can do.” – Jeff Dorgay, Tone Audio, No. 15, 2008
SA-CD.net reviw by lenw March 28, 2010:
Thanks to the Audiophile Audition website I now have several Analogue Production SACD’s – all very high quality musically & sonically. This disc is particularly stunning in its impact for several reasons: it was a very well recorded live performance, the presence of the instruments – especially the flugelhorn & trumpet, & the extraordinary integrated lyrics. There are a number of terrific tracks on this SACD, but the last track is memorable both for its diverse musical treatment & condemning dialog. A terrific SACD IMO.
