In Homeland, Judith Jáuregui, one of the most renowned Spanish pianists of our time, joins forces with Kaspar Zehnder and the Orquesta Sinfónica de Castilla y León in performances of Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto, op. 16 and Manuel de Falla’s Noches en los Jardines de España.
Utter transparency. Abundant detail. Extreme delicacy and nuance. A soundstage to die for. Unrestrained dynamics and immense power. This is a recording to cherish, a recording to celebrate.
– Rushton Paul, Positive Feedback (Read full review HERE)
Two composers who made of their love for their homeland a musical message, both scholars of the folklore of their respective origins, Norway and Andalucía.
They knew how to introduce and emphasize elements of this in their music. Intense and enthusiastic performances provide the opportunity to immerse the listener in the universe of their respective homelands.
Judith Jáuregui, Piano
Kaspar Zehnder, Conductor

Press reviews
MusicWeb International
The performances, especially in the de Falla, are outstanding, as is the range of colour and rhythmic vitality summoned by Jáuregui and her collaborators. They are recorded in startlingly vivid and clear sound, with a magnificent balance of timbre. Eudora and Jáuregui should be commended on a disc that I have returned to again and again over the past few weeks and will continue to do so.

Utter transparency. Abundant detail. Extreme delicacy and nuance. A soundstage to die for. Unrestrained dynamics and immense power. This is a recording to cherish, a recording to celebrate… This Pure DSD256 album is a tour de force of orchestral recording magic.
…As an audiophile who has always valued the highest quality sound reproduction I can possibly achieve, I absolutely delight in Gonzalo Noqué’s and Tom Caulfield’s willingness to strive for the pinnacle of what is currently achievable in digital sound recording and playback…It is the love for achieving excellence, to strive to create something that is as close to the maximally accurate reflection of the real acoustic event as possible using today’s technology. And I feel so utterly grateful to fellow sound quality fanatics who are willing to take this effort.
So, I hope you will listen to this Pure DSD256 file from Eudora for yourself! I hope you will hear in your own system that which Ann and I hear, and that you will find in it the same joy of discovery that we find. And, I hope that you will encourage their continuing efforts to create for us such glorious recordings as this.

A really great album in Pure DSD 256.
I have now purchased several downloads from Eudora at NativeDSD. The way they capture the sound of modern concert grand pianos is overwhelming.
Here, the fine orchestral sound and a pianist full of joy in playing are added.
