My new CDP does SACD too....


I have no intention of building an SACD collection...nor did SACD play any role in the selection of my new player..but, since I have it, I would like to get a couple discs...for the fun of it.

If you were to pick, say, THREE, SACD's, one of which has to be claissical, what would you recommend?

My musical interests are almost everything except, POP, popular Country and Christian...

Thanks for you help...

BTW - New player is the Cary 306 Pro.

T-bone, that Bis recording you mentioned is a terrific one. As a rule, the SACDs on that label are very good, as are most of the Telarcs. I forgot to mention the Ondine label, which does recordings of both the Philadelphia (live concert recordings)and Minnesota orchestras. There is a recording on that label of the Philadelphia Orchestra with Olivier Latry on organ playing the Barber Toccata, Poulenc Organ Concerto and Saint-Saens Organ Symphony that is excellent, and if you have a true full range system it will give you just about the most bass in the last octave (down to 16 Hz) that I've ever heard on disc.
AKUS Live - expensive but one of THE best SACD's
Dolly Parton - Little Sparrow, underappreciated gem
O Brother Soundtrack - probably hard to find but very good
Pink Floyd's Dark side of....Derik and Dominoes or Clapton...Diana Kralll...it's a real treat to listen to well mixed sacd particularly on a 5.1 system as I have. Totally envelops you. Real treat.
Kurt_Tank...that would be any children's audiobook...not sure if sacd format though :>
