We asked her about the benefits of online musical training.Īt what point Sibelius Academy decided to start an online program? Mrs Meller became the Academic Coordinator of Distance Learning in Sibelius Academy of the University of the Arts, Helsinki. In 2011 she was asked by the Rector of the Sibelius Academy to establish a program of distance learning in the school. We spoke to Päivyt Meller, Senior Lecturer in Violin Music, who has an experience of more than 7 years with online musical training. Today Sibelius Academy is a creative community of 1,500 students and more than 1,000 staff.

The driving force for everyone at the Academy is the unquestionable love they have for music, and for the work that they do. Since 2011 the Academy is active in online music training. Established in 1882, the cradle of classical music education has added other genres to its palette: Jazz and Folk Music have been taught since the early 1980s and Music Technology since the early 1990s. Sibelius Academy, the cornerstone of Finnish music and a pioneer in online learning musical training, has long traditions. there are many poor vinyl mastering efforts.Sibelius Academy using online learning musical training so many variables in the mastering process i think. in my experience vinyl pressings from quality digital files do mostly sound better than the source files but not always. When we get a few more compares of the 24/192 and vinyl in other systems we can then judge accordingly as to the implications. have my opinions previously been helpful? each reader will assign weight to my feedback as they might. we won't ever know for sure, but logically hard to see why they might be different.Īnd.agree that my preference for the vinyl is objectively anecdotal and only a data point.and a reflection of my front end source signal paths. i have not yet done any compares to other Sibelius Symphony pressings.that is next.Ĭlick to expand.i suppose it's possible that the 24/192 recording source files are different than those used to cut the vinyl or those offered for downloads. Lastly i now have played all 7 Symphony's on the vinyl and it's very consistently well done and the sonics are really great.

if i had the Extreme and TAS the pull of the download would be a little stronger. but it is better.so maybe if i really loved the music. but not vinyl, would i download the 24/192 file for the step up over the 24/96 streaming? likely not. So the vinyl does take things to a higher level, but the 24/192 file gets you to a wonderful spot. start it on the 1st Symphony and just let 3 hours and 47 minutes play. took me a minute to find where it was hiding.the TAS interface is not ROON). I did also play the 24/192 file with TAS (Taiko Audio System-proprietary Roon alternative unique to the Extreme server) and that was a worthwhile step closer to the vinyl compared to Roon. Sibelius is music i do keep coming back to that i escape into. but the 24/192 is a wonderful.on it's own. the longer you listen to the vinyl the more you are sucked all the way into the musical experience on another level. through Roon the 24/192 still is not in the realm of the vinyl. with all the streaming i've been doing it's been awhile since i downloaded any files.įirst on Roon, i played the 24/192 download compared to the 24/96 Quboz streaming files, sampled a number tracks back and forth, and the 24/192 is slightly but noticeably better.more vivid and lively in small degrees both as it's a file, and the higher rez.

but banging on it i did get it figured out. it took me a while to remember my download process for my PCIe local files on my Taiko Extreme server that Emile (from Taiko) had set up for me so it went there instead of my external NAS.

file from the free download code provided in the Sibelius/Rattle Lp Box Set.

not yet compared it to other Sibelius pressings i own. how many newly recorded classical vinyl titles do we see? not enough!!!!Ī caution i'm no classical music expert.although large scale classical is my main musical focus. it seems like a good idea to buy this one if you are on the fence just to keep the classical vinyl machine moving forward. the vinyl box set comes with a free download which i've not yet done. maybe the actual download files sound better than the streaming version, but they are only 24/48 according to the website. nothing in your face and edgy to my ears. i really like the performances which do the big space thing (love the scale and sweep of Sibelius) and lovely tone and textures. the vinyl on the CS Port tt/arm/EMIA SUT/CS Port phono is much more alive, energetic and real sounding. i compared the 24/96 Quboz streaming version on the MSB Select/Taiko Extreme with the vinyl masterings and it's no contest. typical quality production from this label.

It's a 24/192 digital recording, but lovingly mastered on flat, quiet, clarity vinyl.
