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.
I would agree hiredfox. I got excited to see this release only to be shocked at the £/€120 price tag. Seriously! For a 2 disc release! Sadly I won't be purchasing at this ...
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 ...

But this new disc is a winner.
A terrific sounding......pure ...

Unexpectantly this SACD is a little bit of a step up from my 2011 CD version.
I have not heard the 2019 CD version though, so a pinch of salt is warranted!
Compared to the 2011 CD version, which has a disc runtime of 57:35, this SACD is slightly longer at 57:43. It is also given a phonographic copyright year of 2024. So, it's either a DSD'd version of the 2019 CD release (which has a phonographic copyright date of 2019) or it's a new master.
In common with the recent Allan Holdsworth SACD's the disk is also glass mastered & pressed by Sony DADC in Europe, rather than Japan.
It's a great album and certainly, this will be the one to get if you are in the market for a digital version of this title.
