My mistake. On going back to the Qobuz site, I see that 16 bit (the rate at which I downloaded it) is described as CD quality. As you say, it's a shame that Qobuz don't offer Hungaroton/Pentatone at Studio Master quality, although a download of that size would take forever here in my French village as, to the great shame of Monsieur le Maire, we have by far the slowest ADSL speed in the area. I'll be very interested in your views on the recording quality which I still find rather uningratiating. Not a patch on the Hungaroton SACD of Kocsis in the Concerto for Orchestra. Fizzing performances, though, especially I thought of the Violin Rhapsodies.
