Bach: The Vocal Works - Suzuki | Mark Arnest - December 4, 2024
This is a great set if you can get it at a good price and don't already own a lot of it. But it's not all high-resolution audio. It all sounds good, but the works originally ...
Shostakovich: Symphonies 1-15 - Barshai | DYB - December 4, 2024
This is an intriguing surprise. I'll definitely get it; I have the regular CDs and these are outstanding performances.
Haydn: Symphonies 94, 95, 98 & 99 - Järvi | Contrapunctus - November 30, 2024
This album is also available on qobuz in DSD64 for the same price as the SACDs. I just listened to the complete album and quite enjoyed it.

Bruckner: Symphonies 7 & 8 - Solti | Gordon Lilley - November 24, 2024
This is a companion release to the Mehta Bruckner 9 but is rather less impressive, I fear. The Solti 7th was recorded in the Sofiensaal on 28th of October, 1965, just 3 days ...

I really liked the sound of this one.
It has a richly harmonic, detailed and smooth analog sound that allowed this listener to more readily connect with the music emotionally.
By comparison the Japanese SACD is brighter, crisper, clearer and less detailed. The end result after playing them back-to-back was a more intellectual listening experience.
Bernie Grundman also mastered this one and so far, he is having a very good run with these Steely Dan remasters.
