Shostakovich: Symphonies 1-15 - Noseda | AOS - December 9, 2025
I received the box last, but I have to return it due to a mstering problem. Instead of Symphony 8, which was labeled correctly, it contains the whole 9th symphony in Track 1 ...
The Berliner Philharmoniker and Herbert von Karajan: Live in Berlin 1970–1979 | hiredfox - December 1, 2025
A very risky venture to have remastered all of these recordings in the SACD format. The cost is prohibitive, will anybody buy them or indeed have the time to listen to every ...

This release was foreshadowed for quite a while before finally hitting the racks last month. That the Copyright/phonographic copyright year is '2003' suggests it was in the ...

A very welcome addition to the SACD firmament, though not necessarily a sonic ornament. The release indicates it was mastered directly from the original analog tape. ...

The Berliner Philharmoniker and Herbert von Karajan: Live in Berlin 1970–1979 | darajan - December 11, 2025
The first edition of Karajan definitely has its historical value, maybe not all of them. Even the single track of Ligeti-Atmosphere could prove it without doubt. This time, ...

This is the second time on SACD. First SACD release was back in 2010 by Analogue Productions Dexter Gordon: Go#
This new one was released November 2024 and may well be a different remaster, even though Kevin Gray also had a hand in remastering the 2010 release in a joint effort with Steve Hoffman.
This time around Kevin Gray has the sole mastering credit.
To quote the booklet:
Don Was states "In honor of our upcoming 85th Anniversary, our friends at Blue Note Japan will make Kevin Gray's exquisite vinyl mastering available for the first time in the SACD format"
Kevin Gray states, "While the vinyl releases deservedly get the lion's share of the attention, I am very pleased that my same mastering output will be available on SACD through Blue Note in Japan!"
The CD Japan site indicates it has a PCM step though - "using 6kHz/24bit digital source material he created for the analog reissues."
Sounds very good all the same. Authentically analogue/PCM/DSD you might say!
I'm not in a position to compare it to the earlier SACD, but you are unlikely to be disappointed with this 2024 version.
