Schumann: Etudes symphoniques, Fantasie etc. - Mikhail Pletnev        (2 of 6 found this review helpful)
  May 6, 2004

Because this is the only recording with these particular works I cannot do an artistic comparison. The sound quality of this Multichannel SACD is simply stunning, the dynamic range and the tonal colors of the instrument are captured perfectly. The Stereo Mix is transparent, never boomy and provides ... more
Alessandro Scarlatti: Il Giardino di Rose - Dantone        (3 of 3 found this review helpful)
  May 6, 2004

I received the SACD immediatly after release and now, after a couple of weeks, it's one of the most played recordings I own. The material has been restored very tasteful although you'll find a lot of quotes by Bach, Vivaldi and Rameau. The sound is perfectly captured in both Stereo and Surround, the ... more

Mercury Living Presence: First Impressions
September 2, 2004
Very interesting conclusion because this is how I finally expect the sound from these SACD releases. I have ordered the entire batch and are counting the days until I get them delivered. I also hope that the commercial success will be big enough to convince Decca to continue with the MLP series perhaps even in shorter intervals. Kind Regards. - ... more

Hi Claude, thanks for the link to the covers, however, in my opinion the cover art looks awful. Why not using the original covers in fullsize and simply put the SACD logo on it. Anyway, can't wait to put them into my player.:-) Kind regards. - Wilfried ... more

Discussion: Mahler: Symphony No. 5 - Abbado
June 10, 2004
I think the release policy of the labels is a bigger mystery than shown in any X-Files episode:-). By the way the mastertape quality is only 24/44! This is also true for the Mahler/Boulez release. I was ready to purchase both but decided to put them back into the bin. Kind regards. - Wilfried ... more

I have a couple of the Living Stereo operas on CD and would love to replace them with SACDs. According to the photos in the liner notes these performances were captured with more than 3 mikes so also multichannel mixes seem possible. Puccini's Turandot with Leinsdorf and Price on multichannel SACD? I hope it will not remain a dream.:-) Kind ... more
