Advice: My first SACD?


I should be receiving my CARY SACD player soon. I am pretty excited about trying out SACD, however I currently do not own any. What would be a great first SACD to get that would really highlight the musical/sonic advantages of this format. I listen to everything so all recommendations are welcomed.

What kind of music do you like?

The advantages of SACD appear most obvious if you listen to something you're already familiar with. I remember being amazed by Ziggy Stardust even though I wouldn't rate it as one of the great SACD releases, but I knew the CD version so well that the SACD blew me away.

Ditto for Sketches of Spain by Miles Davis.

If you like Opera, check out Falstaff by Verdi on LSO Live.

If you like Orchestral, there is a lot to choose from. Name some favorite composers for us.

Cheers
If you're open to trying some classical, here are two of the best known works in the classical repertoire:

(these are also excellent recordings that will show off the SACD format admirably)
