This recording is in stereo but the sacd is no real improvement. The treeble notes are less agressive but more present, leaving the feeling that the sound is not well balanced and louder on the left hand side.
This reminds me the Nozze of Erich Kleiber a few years ago.
The original CDs are more satisfactory.
