Allan Holdsworth: Sand | Paul - November 21, 2024

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my question. I agree with your assessment of these Holdsworth SACD releases. I still have serious doubts as to the legitimacy of the ...

Bruckner: Symphonies 7 & 8 - Solti | Gordon Lilley - November 24, 2024

This is a companion release to the Mehta Bruckner 9 but is rather less impressive, I fear. The Solti 7th was recorded in the Sofiensaal on 28th of October, 1965, just 3 days ...

Puccini: La Bohème - Karajan | hiredfox - November 6, 2024

Retailing at over 150 US$ this release must be setting a new record price for a SACD. Are we SACD buffs being exploited one wonders?

This album is also available on qobuz in DSD64 for the same price as the SACDs. I just listened to the complete album and quite enjoyed it.

Puccini: La Bohème - Karajan | John Broggio - November 10, 2024

Have obviously not heard this (yet) but if it's anything like as good as what was achieved for Britten: War Requiem - Britten, then the sound will be as good as ...
