Some have complained that the MCH mix is botched on this SACD compared to the original quad mix - I don't have that to compare against and it's entirely likely they're right - but I will say this performance and recording are powerful and this disc is excellent on its own merits.

I haven't tried out the new BIS/Litton Holst disc yet, but so far this one beats the Previn DVD-A for me.

I don't know this multi-channel mix, but the Litton/BIS performance is really something...

Dutton Vocalian have this as an April 2022 release.
At £11.99 I am sure it will be as good if not better than the original Sony single layer offered on Amazon at £209 !!

Dutton Vocalion is already shipping these new titles, including this disc of their new mastering. (Mine is already in the mail.)

Same - mine's on the way - I'm excited to compare. There's also a few subtle edits in this Sony disc in the Holst performance, which is odd to see - I wonder if those will be in the D-V version.

The Litton/BIS is my current favorite multichannel performance (and one of my favorite performances period) - but the Bernstein is a close second.
