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 ...
Bruckner: Symphony No. 9 - Karajan | Contrapunctus - November 30, 2024
I'm really curious about this new remastering. The versions on RBCD (even in the remastered complete 60's recordings box) don't impress/convince me.
Marillion: This Strange Engine (Deluxe Edition) | sylvian - November 28, 2024

Yes: Close to the Edge | Rafael Méndez - October 30, 2024
The sound is too sharp, almost shrill; the listening experience is exhausting. There's no air, and the soundstage is nonexistent. Let's hope for the version that Analog ...
Shostakovich: Symphonies 1-15 - Barshai | Dave Billinge - December 6, 2024
Given that my CD set cost less than £20 many years back, and given that the set is now on Discogs for just £2.18, this is very interesting indeed. But the cost to bring this ...

I remember buying this on vinyl at the time and feeling somewhat underwhelmed. Even allowing for the passage of time it is surprising to me that it has made its way onto SACD.

The Brahms came to sacd nearly 20 years ago. Brahms, Mozart: Piano Concertos - Backhaus, Böhm-
And some time later it was released by Esoteric - Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 2 - Backhaus, Böhm

I heard it on one of those SACDs Steven mentioned above and I was also very underwhelmed. I'm surprised (and disappointed) it's getting yet *another* reissue when so many classic analog recordings remain un-remastered at all.
