Rachmaninoff: Symphony No. 1 - Wilson | hiredfox - May 7, 2025
How does this recording compare to the many other recordings on SACD, Graham?
Chopin: 4 Ballades, 4 Scherzos - Shimizu | JPO - April 27, 2025
The performance are very good, especially the 4 scherzos, powerful, articulated and creative.
Beethoven: Piano Sonatas 1-15 - Gulda | Contrapunctus - May 10, 2025
In my first comment, I pointed out a few small differences in this SACD release compared to previous Universal Japan editions. Now it seems there's another interesting ...
Simon and Garfunkel: Bookends | Downunderman - April 21, 2025
This SACD mastered by Neal Harris, assisted by Shawn R. Britton and an interesting mastering at that, but not an Original Master Recording. The MoFi vinyl for this was ...
Joni Mitchell: The Asylum Albums (1972 to 1975) | Warren Ogden - April 27, 2025
These blu-rays also include quad mixes of all 4 albums in 192/24 resolution. The one for 'For the Roses' was made for this set; the others already had quad mixes from back in ...
Simon and Garfunkel: Bridge Over Troubled Water | Downunderman - May 12, 2025
A remarkable job has been done with the 55 year old master tape here. It was very well recorded to begin with, but Rob LoVerde and Shawn R. Britton have combined brilliantly ...
Joni Mitchell: Ladies of the Canyon | Downunderman - May 5, 2025
Not too much to grumble about here. An excellent mastering by Neal Harris, assisted by Krieg Wunderlich. It is quite spacious and detailed with lots of separation. It does ...
Rachmaninoff: Symphony No. 1 - Wilson | DYB - May 13, 2025
I've heard the 2nd Symphony and the Symphonic Dances from this cycle and I must say I personally found it to be just ok. Nicely played and recorded, but lacking in excitement ...

Long OOP now.
But we now have the promise of a Japanese 2 SACD (QUAD) 2019 remaster that is slated for release early next year.
I would be a bit grumpy if I put down the coin for it and MoFi also did it soon after!

Downunderman: I recommend the box set in this instance.
The Cellar Door Sessions 1970 6-CD set contains the run of performances from which the "live" pieces on Live-Evil were selected. To me, the music makes more sense in live performance context. Mark Wilder's remix from the 8-channel session tapes for the CD set brings out greater detail in Airto's percussion kit and Keith Jarrett's electric keyboards and ring modulator, and more bass slam compared to the Columbia LP of Live-Evil.

Yes, thanks for highlighting that Mark.
I don't know what I was doing in 2005......certainly not paying enough attention! And even though the Cellar Door set is a 6 disker, even at around $200 AUD for a clean copy you could probably call it good value.
