Press reviews
NativeDSD Technical Advisor
Grace is an album of gospel standards performed Live to DSD by an all-star choir of singers and musicians who are best known for their theater appearances on Broadway. In addition to the talent and musical chops of this group what sets the album apart are the powerful vocal performances on each song.
To really get your attention, the solo vocalists are placed in the Center Channel in the album’s 5 Channel Surround Sound mix. If you ever wanted to know what a properly setup 5 Channel audio system can deliver with a Center Channel speaker, this album should be in your listening library.
Tracks like “Down by the Riverside” and “Changed My Name” are moving experiences, even for listeners who are not usual fans of gospel recordings.
