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. |

Beethoven
Symphony No. 6 "Pastorale" / Walter, Columbia Symphony
(Orchestral SACD)
by Beethoven,
et al By the time conductor Bruno Walter got around to recording
this reading of the Beethoven Sixth Symphony, almost everybody
who was anybody in classical music of the times agreed that he
practically owned the rights to the work.

Rite
of Spring / Firebird Suite [Orchestral SACD]
by Stravinsky, Columbia Symphony Orchestra
This album is a recording from 1960 and 1967. Stravinsky
conducts the Columbia Symphony himself. The passion and the
beauty of this performance comes across very.

Alborada
[SACD]
by Ravel, et al Today I learned that SACD means that the CD cannot
be used in the CD drive of my computer at the office, which is where
I had hoped to listen to this wonderful music. Nor will it play in
my CD-clock/radio so I won't be waking up to the music either. Oh
well, maybe I can sell it on e-bay...live and..

Great
Orchestral Highlights from The Ring of the Nibelungs
by Wagner, et al I have been comparing this (non-hybrid,
stereo-only) Sony SACD with the old Sony/CBS CD set - the 2 discs
Maestro series from 1990, I've never heard a more recent Essential
Classics CD incarnation coupled with some Ormandy Wagner. I suspect
that was the same remastering.

Ormandy,
Stern, Philadelphia Orchestra (SACD) [SACD]
by Tchaikovsky, et al JUST A WARNING TO ANYONE WHO, LIKE ME, HAD
NEVER HEARD OF SACD. This isn't the fault of Amazon or the music
company, but I didn't notice the warning about SACD-Only in the
product details but only read the reviews that raved about this CD.
I had never heard of SACD until I received this CD from..

[Orchestral SACD]
by Prokofiev,
et al This recording enjoys legendary status among sound and music
enthusiasts alike. And it has never before made it onto CD in the
US, let alone in spectacular SACD sound. The only possible rival to
this exciting cantata assembled by Prokofiev from his legendary
movie soundtrack is the Reiner/CSO..

[Orchestral SACD]
by Dvorak,
et al The Slavonic Dances are singular works of art, and cannot be
further advocated here. But, for those who are on the fence
regarding SACD, here is the reason to take the plunge. I own a good,
though by no means extravagant, sound system. The sound I am hearing
(I'm listening as I write) is absolutely..

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
Yo-Yo Ma, et al With the help of some friends (James
Taylor and Alison
Krauss lend some vocal support), the trio of Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar
Meyer, and Mark O'Connor have created yet another fascinating hybrid
of chamber music and bluegrass. This follow-up to 1996's Appalachia
Waltz is filled with highly lyrical string..

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..
