Mahler: Des Knaben Wunderhorn - Tennstedt | DYB - January 7, 2025

I never owned this performance on regular disc and was very much looking forward to the SACD because I love Klaus Tennstedt, Lucia Popp, and Bernd Weikl. Unfortunately Weikl ...

Paulien van Schaik & Hein Van de Geyn: In Summer | Paul Brouns - November 13, 2024

Ever since I purchased this disk it is my absolute favourite recording of my SACD collection. The line up may be not very spectacular, because it just consists of singer ...

Shostakovich: Symphonies 1-15 - Barshai | hiredfox - December 31, 2024

Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong: Ella and Louis, Ella and Louis Again | Paul Brouns - January 10, 2025

The audio specs listing seems incorrect here, because having just ordered this title, the sound among others is also available in PCM Stereo and DTS. I will add my experience ...
