This SACD enables a thrilling test for your system. The cannon shots at the end of "1812 Overture" were recorded in very low level. Therefore their short and powerful voices bursts out of one's speakers creating an exciting atmosphere of battlefield. Watch out your head! ;)
Musically it was a disappointment. But if you want to hear a cinematic "1812" with modern DSD sound this album is for you, then.
