Top Ten Classical SACD's

BArtok, Bluebeard's Castle, Philips, Budapest Festival Orchestra, Fischer Ivan

Florestan Trio: Ravel/Faure/Debussy Piano Trios.(Especially the Ravel.) A hybrid disc on the Hyperion label.

While I'm at it, I nominate "Nature's Realm", on Water Lily,
as #1 on a list of the Ten WORST! Blumlein be damned, it sounds as if the mikes were at the mouth of a cave entrapping the hapless Philadelphia Orch. It might just as well have been recorded in mono. It's also all "boom and sizzle", just like olden times.

3-Channel (front) Hybrid SACD from Everest:
Music by Ginastera, Antill and Villa-Lobos (The Little Train Of The Caipira, Corroboree, Panambi, Estancia). Excellent music, Demo class.

Carl Off: Carmina Burana conducted by Robert Shaw on the Telarc label SACD-60056. This is a classic digital recording remastered using the SACD technology. Equally Great music, performance and sound.

Mahler: Symphony # 3 conducted by Benjamin Zander on the Telarc label 3SACD-60599. Original SACD recording newly released in Feb 2004. Great performance with an extra CD of the conductor discussing the composition. Highly recommended for Mahler fans.

La Folia - various composers 1490-1701, by Jordi Savall on AliaVox (AV9805). Beautiful selections, great performances, well engineered.
