Shostakovich: Symphony No. 13 - Storgårds | breydon_music - July 6, 2025

Chandos' commitment to SACD is reflected in the scheduling in the next couple of months of a John Wilson 2-disc set of "My Fair Lady" and another instalment in Gardner's ...

Puccini: Madama Butterfly - Karajan | David Snyder - July 10, 2025

I agree the price is dumb, but it should be pointed out that the La Boheme release of the same type that preceded this sounded phenomenal; better than Esoteric. If this one ...

Puccini: Madama Butterfly - Karajan | hiredfox - July 3, 2025

The World has gone mad. Who in their right mind could even consider buying this release? Charging this much for a withering SACD format will only hasten its demise.

An excellent SACD Recording wise ! Much better sound wise than the recent Evosound SACD release with it unbalance placement of the instruments. Recommended
