專輯英文名: A Tribute To Cole Porter 專輯中文名: 向科爾波特致敬 歌手: The Bassface Swing Trio 音樂風格: 爵士 資源格式: FLAC 版本: [LP 黑膠 24bit/96KHz] 發行時間: 2008年04月25日 地區: 德國 語言: 普通話 專輯介紹: 在2007年，貝斯臉搖擺三重奏在Stockfisch發行一張直刻SACD，以完全現場演出的方式錄製了蓋西文致敬專輯。2008年，一樣的CD封面，他們還會帶給我們怎樣的驚喜？這次致敬的對象是柯爾波特，另外一位偉大的美國歌曲創作者。 貝斯臉搖擺三重奏的曲風正如他們的團名，非常的搖擺。他們的爵士樂不會讓你想正襟危坐嚴肅的聆聽，而會想隨著他們流暢輕快的拍子起舞打拍子。更棒的是，這次的演出加入了一位歌手芭芭拉柏克，她的歌聲清亮而甜美，帶著愉悅的表情，與這三重奏的音樂風格正好契合得天衣無縫。 最讓人側目的還是這張專輯的錄製方式：以七支麥克風收錄所有聲音，並直接進入Sonosax類比混音座混成兩聲道的訊號，之後就進入emmLabs的類比數位轉換器直接將訊號轉為DSD儲存。由於DSD單位元、超高取樣率的特性與類比訊號沒兩樣，而且又有超寬頻寬（超過100kHz的高頻延伸）與超大動態（超過120分貝！）的特色，因此這個DSD訊號就直接送到Neumann VMS-80的DMM刻片機直接刻成黑膠唱盤母片。在SACD的部份，也是以這DSD訊號直接進行母帶處理，並且在DSD工作站上進行母帶處理並燒成SACD母帶，以這母帶直接在壓片廠製成母片壓制，將訊號中可能減少的損失降至最低。 這過程有什麼難處？有！為了配合黑膠唱片，樂手與歌手們必須將八首歌曲分成兩次（A面與B面）一氣呵成的演奏完畢，在四首歌曲之間任何的對話與動作都照樣收錄在唱片中，不能重複錄製或修飾某個片段，因此聆聽這張唱片就好像聽到兩段現場演唱會般的充滿臨場感。還好，四位藝人都是高手中的高手，連續四首歌曲的演奏完全難不倒他們，光聽A面最後一曲的「Love For Sale」，從開頭的貝斯演奏、曲中的爵士鼓精彩獨奏到最後的鋼琴盡情揮灑都可以聽出樂手們熱力四射的光芒。 充滿奢華歡樂氣息的柯爾波特歌曲、充滿活力的爵士三重奏與充滿潛力的女聲新秀，加上Stockfisch直刻唱片最原汁原味的聲音呈現，無論是音響迷、爵士樂迷一定都會被這張唱片深深吸引 資料一： 直刻唱片在幾十年前就已經是高音質的絕高境界，而對這方面的製作，老虎魚的老闆兼錄音師Gunter Pauler絕非新手。他不但曾經接受B&W公司委託錄製過著名的「Friends of Carlotta」直刻黑膠唱片（後來版權由Clearaudio買下繼續發行），在老虎魚也推出了數張直刻多聲道SACD專輯，都有著音響迷們津津樂道的高超音質。本片又是一次精彩的直刻發燒鉅作，錄音在老虎魚自己的錄音室中進行，所有的刻片設備也都集中在這邊，所有的製作路徑縮到最短，當然大幅度降低失真產生的可能性。 要製作直刻CD有很多種方式。Gunter Pauler最後決定以類比方式進行。所有的收音、混音、刻片過程完全不加入任何數位化的產品，一直到進入刻片頭之前，才以另外一組訊號分送到數位處理，分別由emmLabs ADC8 MkⅣ進行DSD轉碼給SACD層、NEXUS 28-bit進行PCM轉碼給CD層使用，因此，三種不同媒介是以最接近、差異最少的方式來錄製的，可以說是要比較三種不同媒體音質時不可或缺的利器！***若是音樂表現平平，一張直刻唱片音質表現再優異也是枉然。老虎魚當然深知這個道理，因此請來了德國的貝斯臉搖擺三重奏負責演出，他們以極佳的默契與創意演出大家耳熟能詳的六首蓋希文名曲。值得一提的是使用了義大利名廠法奇歐理（Fazioli）的F228型鋼琴，這款傑作的響板是由與史特拉第瓦利小提琴琴身相同的義大利紅松木，音質充滿華麗貴氣。錄音使用的器材包括了老虎魚首次使用，自己以傳奇的Neumann M7的關鍵零件自制的麥克風、SONOSAX混音檯與Neumann VMS-80 DMM刻片機等等，當然都是當前最高水準。錄製的結果呢？鋼琴華麗澄澈、貝斯彈性絕佳、鼓聲堅實飽滿，空間感、定位感等項目都有著上乘的表現。最重要的是音質非常的直接傳真，與一般錄音室混音作品有著截然不同的真實趣味。 資料二： 發燒界殿堂品牌(老虎魚)與紅遍全亞洲的德國重量級爵士三種奏組合"比費斯搖擺三重奏"配合擁有攝人魅力的嗓音的爵士女歌唱家巴巴拉向美國著名百老匯音樂劇作曲家波特致敬專輯,重新演繹波特多首音樂劇及爵士樂佳作.這個嶄新組合給您一個意想不到的爵士之旅,令您彷如返回歌舞昇平的百老匯歌劇時代般,金碧輝煌.由(老虎魚)專業錄音師悉心泡製,突驗爵士最引人入勝之處,震撼無比! 唱片名稱：A Tribute To Cole Porter 向波特致敬集 藝術家：比費斯搖擺三重奏 The Bassface Swing Trio 音樂類型：爵士 唱片公司：老虎魚 唱片編號：SFR35740562 內圈編碼：IFPI 07K8 出版時間: 2008-04-25 Published on May 23, 2008 The Bassface Swing Trio – Tribute to Cole Porter – Stockfisch The Bassface Swing Trio – Tribute to Cole Porter – Stockfisch Direct Cut stereo-only SACD SFR 357.4056.2, 39:04 ***1/2 [Distr. by Elusive Disc]: (Barbara Bürkle, vocals; Thilo Wagner, piano; Jean-Philippe Wadle, doublebass; Florian Hermann, drums) This is a hi-res encore from the Bassface Trio to their first Stockfisch SACD, a tribute to George Gershwin, which we reviewed here last year. This time the instrumental-only piano trio asked in excellent vocalist Barbara Bürkle, whose umlauted last name seems to suggest that perhaps English is not her first language. Yet one would never know that hearing her perfect pronunciation and phrasing of all the great and witty Porter lyrics. And she's also always on key – something one doesn't always get in many recordings of vocalists. There are eight tracks on this rather short disc time-wise, and two of the tracks are strictly instrumental. The tunes are some of Cole's classics, and one misses not a thing with the clean cabaret-style delivery of Ms. Bürkle plus the transparent sonics provided by Stockfisch. Their engineers mixed a pickup by seven mikes down to an analog mixer in stereo only. (This is not a typical multichannel SACD.) The musicians all played straight thru every tune – there were no edits, and there are longer pauses with some conversation between tracks, just as on vinyl direct discs. The analog mix went thru a high-grade DSD 1-bit converter, from which the SACD master was produced. I'm not sure I understand the Direct Cut reference in this instance, since neither the SACD nor the DMM vinyl disc were cut directly from the mike mixer signals, as all the direct-discs in my vinyl collection were. The 180g LP is really a copy of the DSD master. However, the sonics are terrific on the SACD. I didn't have the SACD/Vinyl Bundle which I had reviewed simultaneously on the first album. Stockfisch only produced 500 pieces and since I had previously found the SACD about the same as the vinyl, I didn't ask for it this time. The CD layer sounds very good, but after switching to the SACD layer a more accurate description for the 44.1K option would be listening to the music when you have a serious head cold. I know I've been lax in comparing the two or three options on most SACDs in reviews, but in spite of that idiotic AES paper about them sounding the same, there's a world of more transparent sound in the SACD stereo options, not to mention the surround options. (It was only at the beginning of SACD's introduction that Sony and some other labels were careless and actually made the SACD layer sound worse than the CD layer on a few discs.) I have to say I enjoyed the first all-instrumental Bassface disc more. The trio really picks things up on the two instrumentals here, especially on the closing I Love Paris. That one jump! – and was my favorite track on the album – unlike their accompaniment on the vocals. This is a thoroughly pro quartet of musicians, I was just hoping for a touch more courage and perhaps edginess in their improvisations. Ms. Bürkle is very good, but again I was hoping for a little bit more unique delivery on her part.

Previously this mixture created one of the most remarkable sound recordings, the Direct-to-disc-Cut of the Bassface Swing Trio with their tribute to Gershwin. Could things become any better than this? Hard to imagine, but true. Proof enough of this: The Bassface Swing Trio again, this time featuring singer Barbara Bürkle, a fine selection of Cole Porter jazz tunes entitled Tribute to Cole Porter. Brilliant dynamic vocals from jazz singer Barbara Burkle accompanied by the likes of pianist Thilo Wagner, bassist Jean-Philippe Wadle and drummer Florian Hermann. High-quality performances of Cole Porter songs like "Night and Day", "Easy To Love" and "It's De-Lovely" all on Limited Edition, Hand-numbered high-quality 180g vinyl with Hybrid Stereo SACD included! Direct-to-disc has been and still is the biggest challenge in audiophile music production. Unforgettable are the works of Sheffield, Jeton and courageous cutting engineers like Stan Ricker, who out-maxed the technical possibilities of that time by provocative back-cutting. The Stockfisch sound engineers mixed the sound of seven microphones in an analog mixer to a stereo sum. They enjoyed this creative listening phase whilst doing this exciting down-mix. The musicians played two sets of four pieces - live, there were no edits or digital tricks involved. For collectors of audiophile specials, this release is also available as DSD 2.8224 MHz-TO-DISC Vinyl 180g LP + SACD Hybrid-bundle - limited to 500 units, numbered and signed by Günter Pauler.
