What
Is SACD?
Super Audio CDs (SACDs) offer some of the
highest-fidelity listening available today. Most SACDs
have been remastered to feature at least five channels
of surround sound. While some SACDs are hybrids
(playable on any standard CD player), to experience the
full impact of these discs, you'll need a proper SACD
playback system. |

Goldberg
Variations (Sl) [SACD]
by
Bach, Glenn Gould For those of you feeling their way into
Super-Audio CD, one will note the unevenness of the sound
engineering of many reissues in this new format, most are
extraordinary but some are simply a compressed file reprinted
for SACD. Rest assured that the sound engineers did their job
well for the late..

Fantasies
& Delusions: Music for Solo Piano (Sl) [Classical Keyboard
SACD]
by
Billy
Joel, Richard Joo This is Billy Joel all grown up, and
he even admitted on Bravo that this is the music he was due to
write given his age. The playing is also excellent. If you are a
fan of classical piano music.

![Bach Goldberg Variations (SACD) [SACD]](http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00004Z3PX.01.TZZZZZZZ.jpg)
by
Bach (Composer), Murray Perahia I bought this CD with high hopes.
I thought maybe it could give me a new perspective on Bach,
something I didn't hear in Glenn Gould's two immaculate recordings.
It's quite good, excellent playing, but unfortunately, it is
decidedly uninspiring when compared to Gould. The technique and
phrasing..

Partitas
no 1 & 2 / Glenn Gould [Classical Keyboard SACD]
by Bach, Gould Without going into the musicality and joy of Gould's
performance which to fans of his needs no introduction, I was
particularly concerned with the DSD transfer of the master tapes.

[Classical
Keyboard SACD]
by Chopin, et al Anyone who complains about this is like when
someone complains about the black bars on widescreen DVD transfer
and prefer inferior "pan and scan",fit on your TV screen,
version. You should know that you gain more when you can listen to
the tape hiss in analogue recordings because it shows they.

[Classical
Keyboard SACD]
by Rachmaninoff, et al It comes, as did Martha Argerich's CD, with a
sticker on the front proclaiming this to be "one of the
greatest Rachmaninoff 3rds of all time." (Martha's was billed
as "The Ultimate Rachmaninoff 3rd," and it was stuck
directly onto the plastic case, requiring me to soak it in warm
water for hours to.

Perahia,
English CO [Classical Keyboard SACD]
by
Mozart, et al Like many others in this series, this is a gem from
the Columbia Masterworks back catalogue, beautifully restored and
presented in this DSD transfer onto SACD. This late era analogue
recording has excellent frequency response and dynamic range, and
there is virtually no tape hiss. As in other.
|
by
Schubert, et al Unfortunately, there is extreme hissing in most of
these classical SACD's, especially when heard at higher volumes.
It's really a terrible shame. But I also agree with the idea that
the original masters shouldn't be tampered with for SACD's. The only
answer I can see is to make new recordings of..

by
Bach, Gould First I'll comment on the music. It is superb. I'm a
huge fan of Bach (my collection of Bach discs has increased from 10
to about 60 over the past year), and to a lesser extend of Gould. I
like the way he plays this very much. This disc may surprise
occasional Gould listeners as the inventions and..
|
by
Copland, Lso This is a tranfer to SACD of an older recording. Yes,
it is only 2 channels- stereo. However, on any decent system it has
a very natural sound with the ambient information conveyed as only
SACD is able! Yes, there is some hiss- an artifact of the analog
master. It is not a problem for me. The..
|
by
Dvorak,
et al I simply cannot understand why this SACD was released. I have
many recordings of Dvoark's 9th, on both LP and CD -- all different
from each other, most delightful in their own way. And while
conductors are entitled to their interpretations, I think that
Bernstein was smoking something serious when..
|
by
Mozart, Midori Twenty years ago, CDs revolutionized music ... and
that's what the SACD format is going to do all over again. I'm not
going to put you to sleep with an analysis of the Mozart selections,
but tell you about the clarity with which they're rendered in the
Super Audio CD format. You quite literally feel..
