Contrapunctus, I agree. For me the Decca Japan issue is really spectacular. Esoteric's choices continue to confound me. So many of their recent issues have been released very ...
I agree. Lovely pieces and amazing that they were written when Rossini was only 12 years old and it took him just 3 days! I got to know them through a superb set on Decca ...
I have attended many a concert at the Grand Teton Music Festival, when I used to live and work in Wyoming. Every concert was wonderful. Walk festival hall has a lot going for ...
Thank you Adrian for your review! Of course, I agree, this is a wonderful release. I've listened to it many times now since downloading the DXD 352.8/32 surround version. I ...
Sometimes I must break free from my traditional music library and purchase an album that's new. I was not prepared for the emotional impact of this music. The album was ...

Accomplished 5.1 mix.

Much, much better fidelity than my CD, which I found to be compressed and muffled.
As an example, on "Chain" the bass solo is so clear you can hear the bass strings vibrate.
I highly recommend it over the CD version.

In a direct comparison with the 45 rpm, it seems like this might have been from the same master tape. However, I don't think every song is from the same master tape. In the 45 rpm, at the beginning of Gold Dust Woman, you hear people yelling - like audience members. In the SACD, you don't hear those sounds.
