Ireland: Orchestral works - Wilson | john hunter - Yesterday 08:34 pm
Although I love the repertoire, as a CD,it was a non started. Now just ordered at Presto and can't wait.
Ireland: Orchestral works - Wilson | breydon_music - July 27, 2022
Tower Japan have it listed on their site with catalogue number CHSA5294 - they are usually accurate and if correct that would certainly make this a SACD.
Dave Brubeck Quartet: Time Out | Mark Werlin - August 3, 2022
At about 6:30 into the second track, "Strange Meadow Lark" (2012 AP SACD, stereo program), Brubeck plays a chordal passage very forcefully. There was probably some mic preamp ...
Shostakovich: Symphony No. 13 - Karabits | Steven Harrison - July 30, 2022
Ah, completely missed the Kofman's in every way. I'm not exactly short of recordings of the Shostakovich symphonies with the Rostropovich and Ashkenazy rbcd box sets and ...
Dave Brubeck Quartet: Time Out | Brian VanPelt - August 2, 2022
This sounds pretty much like the record versions, I think. I say this because on both record versions (33 1/3 , 45) I have terrible distortion all throughout the piano ...
Wagner: Lohengrin - Kempe | Andre Vital - Yesterday 05:49 am
A caveat... The 'secret' of the "Grand Opera" EMI-Toshiba series is that it never ever sacrifices the total quality of its transfers to avoid background noise in older analog ...
Beethoven: Violin Sonatas, Vol. 1 - Podger, Glynn | hiredfox - August 5, 2022
The Amazon link for this SACD does not work. Beware or you'll end up with some obscure disc that you didn't order.
Sam Cooke: Night Beat | Brian VanPelt - August 2, 2022
The 3 channels used to record this are put to perfect use. Generally, Sam's voice is perfectly centered. On the left we have the piano/keyboard, and on the right we have the ...

I won't lie - I mostly picked this up because I'm a fan of MoB's early stuff, and the novelty of finding literally anything from the post-Boomer era of recorded music on SACD was too strong to ignore.
Thankfully, and somewhat surprisingly, this is actually a decent stereo SACD that is NOT merely converted to DSD from the 44.1khz source, like a lot of popular SACDs tend to be.

And if more encouragement were needed the average dynamic range figures favor the SACD.
The 2004 CD comes in at 8, whilst the (2004) SACD is at 11. Not the last word on SQ, but it is nice to see average dynamic range in double figures all the same.
