Michel Camilo – Triangulo (Ultra HD CD)

Michel Camilo is a composer, pianist and music producer. You could also say he is a bandleader and guest lecturer at Berklee College of Music and MIT. Or you could call him a Grammy, Latin Grammy and Emmy winner. In any case, he is a border crosser whose music moves between jazz, classical, pop and world music. His Triangulo consists of ten tracks, six of which he wrote himself. Camilo’s playing is passionate and fiery, yet accessible and melodic. The Dominican artist is accompanied by Anthony Jackson on bass and Horacio ‘El Negro’ Hernandez on percussion.

Ultra-HD 32-bit mastering & PureFlection

This mastering format was developed by FIM and Five/Four Productions. Five/Four Productions is made up of the former Telarc production team, who wanted to be able to master the best possible sound quality regardless of lower quality equipment. The team at Five/Four Productions can look back on 16 Grammys and countless other awards.

It is re-digitised with 32-bit word length and a sampling frequency adapted to the source material. Where possible, 192 KHz is used, but with some materials, lower sampling rates are advantageous in terms of sound. The Ultra-HD 32-bit productions can be played back on any CD player in outstanding sound quality.

The term PureFlection refers to the new way of producing the glass master for the latest FIM productions. This is not produced in the pressing plant as part of normal production, as is usually the case, but by a specialist on a specially modified machine for cutting Blu-ray glass masters. Before the discs are produced, the quality of the glass master is checked and the new booklets contain the test protocol for this check. The result is significantly lower jitter values and also lower error values than with conventional industrial productions and, unlike many modern productions, the resulting sound has an organic feel.

We recommend the use of „L’Art du Son” CD/DVD conditioner for even more sonic improvement.
