Can anyone confirm that this disc has in fact only a stereo SACD layer and is not multi-channel? Dave Hurwitz on Classics Today seems to think so:

If so I wonder if the other Prazak SACDs are the same.

Hurwitz is a bit out of it when it comes to SACD. In some of his reviews of stereo only SACDs, he starts talking about the benefits of MC as if the disc had a MC layer.

The Schubert disc is definitively stereo, as well as the Beethoven's Op. 18 one. As far as I remember, the others are multichannel. I'll check this as soon as I'll be able to find my hardcopy of Praga's CD/SACD catalog.

First but highly fruitful CD encounter between Marc COPPEY, famous French cellist with a double career, as soloist and as chamber musician after numerous years as member of the YSAŸE String Quartet, and the « PRAŽÁK », who are equally at ease in the Viennese repertoire (the first Vienna school from Haydn to Schubert and the second one from Schönberg to Webern, including Berg and Zemlinski) as in their original Bohemian patrimony.
The programme of this CD associates, in an hitherto unpublished coupling, two sides of the work of the author of « the Death and the Maiden » (the Lied and the Quartet!) : the quartet D94, composed for the family quartet by a 16 years old musician, follower of Mozart, and the famous Quintet in C, 15 years later, last chamber music testimony from a man overwhelmed by weariness and an endless rover (Wanderer).

Yes it is a stereo SACD only

I must add that this SACD is terribly missing "bass". Where are the two cellos ?
The sound is very dry. I planned to buy all Praga Brahms "chamber music" (multichannel) but now, I don't think to do it !
