Vivaldi: The Four Seasons - Steinbacher | hiredfox - Today 01:17 am

It all boils down to a lack of an indisputable standard being set for SA-CD recording by Sony / Philips when the DSD format was promoted as a way of extending their ...

Mahler: Symphony No. 7 - Vänskä | philip edwards - June 3, 2020

This is sonically superb. Even though I have quite a few M7s on SACD I thought I would add just one more. I’m glad I did. Very enjoyable interpretation, less nervy than ...

Beethoven: 9 Symphonies - Trevino | Dissonance - May 28, 2020

The inlay card (available for viewing e.g. on Amazon) does not have an DSD logo so it's very likely the recordings were made only in 24-bit / 96 kHz PCM as the recording ...

Iron Butterfly: In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida | Downunderman - May 6, 2020

Yes I saw that JJ's B&S is a chance - 'Digitally Recorded and Mastered' though, so Intervention might have their work cut out for them.

Frank Sinatra with Count Basie and the Orchestra: Sinatra at the Sands | hiredfox - Yesterday 01:35 am

I have this recording now £55 to buy + £23 import duty and charges. It needs to be good! £78 for a SA-CD is a new record for me as I slide inexorably towards ...

Beethoven: 9 Symphonies - Trevino | Tony Reif - May 28, 2020

The DSD logo has been used since the beginning to identify SACDs whether or not the recording was done in DSD.

Sibelius: 7 Symphonies - Davis | hiredfox - May 25, 2020

I agree with you that Sir Colin Davis' mid-90's survey on RBCD was far better than his SA-CD set of the early noughties when alas the great maestro was in decline. ...

Vivaldi: The Four Seasons - Steinbacher | Dissonance - June 3, 2020

Speaking about Chandos it's worth to note the SACD albums made with Soundmirror Inc. were recorded and mastered in DXD (24-bit / 352,8 kHz) instead of Chandos’s default ...

HEART-WRENCHING VERISMO ARIAS

Global star tenor Piotr Beczala presents Vincerò !, the first fruit of his exclusive collaboration with PENTATONE. I will win! is a collection of heart-wrenching opera arias by Puccini, Mascagni, Leoncavallo, Giordano and Cilea. For Beczala, this recording documents his vocal transition from the lyrical tenor repertoire to the more dramatic roles of Verismo, and thus simultaneously marks a significant new chapter in his stage career. Beczala is accompanied by the Cor de la Generalitat Valenciana and the Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana, led by maestro Marco Boemi; an extraordinary singer's conductor who worked with the greatest vocalists of our age.
