Of late, I have found myself enjoying Egberto Gismonti’s ECM album Solo (16/44 flac, streamed via Qobuz), which features the composer soloing on guitar and piano, punctuating the performances with some soft vocals and bells. This is a natural and ethereal recording, which accurately captures the acoustic space around the performer. I really enjoy recordings like this one, and the Quad and Wharfedale system pulls out all the stops in reproducing it. I hear recorded space and dimensionality, coupled with a delightfully warm and opulent presentation of voice, piano, and acoustic guitar. I also don’t want to imply that the system is slow, as in lacking the pace, rhythm, and timing the Brits are so well known for enjoying. I never felt that the music lagged, except perhaps slightly in the lower bass region. Outside of this one shortcoming, the tunes bounced along just as they should, with reasonably fast attack of leading edges of notes.
