Siegfried's Funeral March from Götterdämmerung? I thought the release date for that 2022 re-master was not until the end of June 2023 (at least according to Amazon UK).Found this on another well known site:
Seigfried's funeral march, top 1984, bottom 2022. Make of it what you will.
I look on the comparison with some suspicion based on the writer's claim of "downloaded from a certain lossless streaming service". On Qobuz the most recent Solti Götterdämmerung seems to be 2012. Have I got this wrong? Has the 2022 already been released? Is the comparison actually from somewhere else?
Anyway, having listened last night to Acts I and II of the Siegfried 2022 re-master I am listening right now on Qobuz to Act III. It certainly seems to be mastered at a higher level than I recall from my 1997 CD set. However nothing seems obviously clipped to me (ditto for the two previous operas). When Götterdämmerung 2022 appears on Qobuz I shall certainly pay attention to Siegfried's Funeral March to make up my own mind.
