This is the second LTD Blu-spec CD I've received and auditioned. I was a bit apprehensive beforehand about the quality of sonic improvements over the sound of my Single Bit Mapped SONY (conventional) CD of these performances 15 years ago . With the exception of the Arabesque which was included in an SACD of Horowitz's first Columbia Records recital I'm not aware that any of these other selections (Toccata, Kinderschenen, Kriesleriana, and a piece I didn't recognize) has been released in the SACD format, so all of my comparisons are with earlier CD sonics. In a nutshell I find the improvements to be immediately apparent but not dramatically so. By this I mean that the mid and higher frequencies are now without the slight "edge, or hardness of the earlier CD, with the result that the beauty of Horowitz's sound, and thus of his interpretations are now more enjoyable . This also translated into an ability to better distinguish much that before had sounded "dense", and which how is cleaner.
If you can get this and other LTD Blu-Spec discs at the price I paid via Amazon (less than $22.00 plus shipping, and if you enjoy Horowitz's artistry then I don't think you'll be disappointed.
