Mahler: Symphonies 1–9 - Bychkov | breydon_music - April 15, 2026
I agree with Graham's points. Perhaps the previous contributor simply prefers virtual carriers to physical ones, which is fair enough - it's a free world. But we SACD ...

The word DIGITAL has, helpfully, only just been added by the site owner to avoid confusion. Why single out Chandos for criticism when, for example, the new Walton Symphonies ...
Opus - Sakamoto | Stephen Best - April 15, 2026
Currently showing on the Criterion Channel (if not elsewhere). It's a great production.

For those interested in a physical format, this is also available on Blu-ray video, although the resolution is Stereo/Multichannel 24bit 48kHz. The sound is superb especially ...

A very welcome addition to the SACD firmament, though not necessarily a sonic ornament.
The release indicates it was mastered directly from the original analog tape.
Mastered by Ryan K. Smith and seems a pretty flat transfer, though the tape is no sonic marvel.
