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. |

The
Sopranos - Peppers and Eggs: Music from the HBO Series
[SOUNDTRACK] [Classical SACD]
by Various Artists The Sopranos have
become considerably more than just the average psychically
tortured New Jersey mob family next door. HBO's innovative, if
distinctly murderous soap opera has become a modern cultural
icon, one whose innovative pop music score.

Bernstein
Conducts Bernstein [Classical SACD]
by Bernstein, Nyp Bernstein leads these
performances with snap, drama and excitement. The SACD
remastering improves the original sound considerably.
There may be others, but no one does it like Lenny.

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..

by
Bach (Composer), Murray Perahia I bought this CD with high hopes. I
thought maybe it could give me a new perspective on Bach, something
I didn't hear in Glenn Gould's two immaculate recordings. It's quite
good, excellent playing, but unfortunately, it is decidedly
uninspiring when compared to Gould. The technique and phrasing..

Grand
Canyon Suite [Classical SACD]
by George Gershwin, et al This was the first SACD I purchased. I was
so excited until I put it in and it is only 2-channel. Great
recording quality, but I was pretty disappointed it was not
multi-channel.
|
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..

[Super
Audio Compact Disk]
by Charlotte Church Everybody's favorite precocious sprite of a
soprano comes out with her third album in Dream a Dream. It's
only been two years since Charlotte
Church's smash debut, Voice
of an Angel, but that's a big chunk of the Welsh singer's
life span so far. This latest is basically a Christmas album, so
full of.

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..
