Paul Simon: There Goes Rhymin' Simon | Downunderman - April 23, 2023

Pretty lovely transfer this one. Mastered by Rob LoVerde and he appears to have done so with commendable restraint. It was pretty well recorded in the first place and that ...

Shostakovich: Symphonies 8-10 - Petrenko | listening - May 29, 2023

A superb recording of Shostakovich's symphonies 8-10. Great virtuosity, full dynamics, a lot of details. Listened to in stunning stereo.

Dvořák: Symphony No. 9 - Noseda | Athenaeus - Yesterday 08:15 am

Cheer up! There are still several new SACDs released every week, be it new recordings or reissues of older recordings. And I don't see any sign it's about to stop. We even ...

Beethoven: Symphonies 1-9 - Konwitschny | Contrapunctus - June 6, 2023

The only important work for me here is the recording of the Hiller Variations anyway. As far as I can see, there is not a single release of this impressive work on SACD.

Jethro Tull: Stand Up | Downunderman - April 24, 2023

Jethro Tull: Stand Up | Mark Werlin - April 25, 2023

Downunderman (and any other Jethro Tull fans), you need to hear the Steven Wilson remixes of This Was, Stand Up, Benefit, Aqualung, and Thick as a Brick in 24/96. The sonic ...

Rachmaninov: 4 Piano Concertos, Paganini Rhapsody - Ashkenazy, Previn | Athenaeus - June 1, 2023

Indeed! In June they will also release Milstein's recording of Bach's Sonatas and Partitas. A great set! The thing is, though, that Tower Records released this one on SACD not ...

Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon | John Bacon-Shone - May 10, 2023

I am not aware of any legitimate DVD-A version. This is a (very nice) repackaging of the previous SACD, which sounds very nice.
