Recent Finds

Spotted on Recent Sales

Bernard Haitink’s complete Phillips set is currently sitting quietly inside the Decca sale at Presto Music for roughly €55.

That's 25 hours of beautifully sounding Haitink at pretty much absurd price.

(Part of this week’s ongoing sale coverage.)

Rare Catalogue Find

Kondrashin Between 1962–1975, the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra under Kirill Kondrashin recorded the entire cycle of Shostakovich's symphonies. In 2006, Melodiya, the original label, gathered the cycle in a beautifully sounding set which, as it turns out, is also available in lossless audio.

Contantly Watching Closely For...

  • Upcoming reissues,
  • overlooked catalogue releases,
  • label sales worth paying attention to, and
  • recordings quietly gathering momentum before most listeners notice them.

The search never really stops.

There is a moment I suspect you know so well.You put on a record and ... something about it just ... fits.

Pawel Grabowski

The piano sits naturally in the room with you. The bass has weight without crowding the other instruments. You can follow each line separately, hear the air between them. Notes arrive clean and immediate, not blurred at the edges. Within a few bars, you know this is the music you want to live with.

I have been chasing that feeling for years. Across new releases and old catalogue, across stores and formats and editions that sometimes differ in ways that are hard to explain but impossible to ignore once you have heard them. It is one of the great quiet pleasures of this hobby. The hunt, and then the find.

But the hunt should not be this hard. Right now, it often means piecing together signals from everywhere. Forums. Stores. Scattered reviews. Endless reissues. Recommendations from people whose priorities may have nothing to do with your own.

You get there eventually. But you do it alone, and you miss things.

That's why I built TrueResAudio, a curated stream of reviews, catalogue finds, release coverage, sale picks, and listening notes for classical and jazz listeners who care deeply about how music is recorded, mastered, and ultimately heard.

Every review, every recommendation, every signal starts from the same question: does this recording genuinely deserve your time, attention, and listening space?

Not gear. Not specs for their own sake. TrueResAudio is all about the music. Editions that let you experience the music the way you want to hear it. New releases. Reissues that got it right. Catalogue finds you would not have stumbled across otherwise. Sale alerts so a deal that makes a great edition an easy decision does not pass you by while you are looking somewhere else. And a monthly magazine that further expands your knowledge.

The hunt is still yours. TrueResAudio just makes sure you find more of what you are looking for.

If this sounds like you, come and have a look around. I think you will feel right at home.
