I have the original "plain vinyl record" version, and it is great to learn your state of the art XRCD2 is bringing such listening pleasure. As you can imagine, with a chuckle, may I ask 'why do I need CD?'
The very best JVC proprietary manufacturing magic seems to allow the CD format to combine wonderful convenience, great sound, and even allow for a bit of further sound enhancement with CDP, and CD tweaks.
I have to agree that Bill Evans occasionally steals the show, but Tony Bennett quickly gets in his licks, and wins back the listener's admiration. I guess that fewer of us have heard Bill Evans, compared to Tony Bennett who has been a pop star for so long. Both contribute their considerable talents to this great duo performance.
SACD's certainly can sound excellent, but so can the best of CD's, and offering the SACD disc format to the public may soon be remembered as another step on the road to miniature hard drive storage of everything that matters in modern life, including our music preferences.
