Dave Alvin Blackjack David (1998 2003) Sacd

The reissue of classical music masterpieces by ESOTERIC has attracted a lot of attention, both for its uncompromising commitment to recreating the original master sound, and for using hybrid Super Audio CD (SACD) technology to improve sound quality. This series marks the first hybrid SACD release of historical recording selections that have been mainstays of the catalog since their initial release. These new audio versions feature ESOTERIC's proprietary re-mastering process to achieve the highest level of sound quality.

Available in multi-channel surround SACD only!
Telarc offers this multi-channel discrete surround classical SACD sampler featuring some of our top classical artists including Paavo Jarvi, Erich Kunzel, Benjamin Zander, Donald Runnicles, Robert Spano and many others…

Leonard Bernstein’s recording with the New York Philharmonic of Gustav Holst’s famous The Planets, along with Benjamin Britten’s Four Sea Interludes from his opera Peter Grimes. There is a difference of opinion as to whether this multi-channel SACD is a good re-mastering of the original discrete 4 channel Quadriphonic master in which the orchestra actually surrounds you or is it taken from a 2 channel master and the rear channels and center channel have been re-produced artifically with just reverberation sounds which means the orchestra only sounds like it’s in front of you, but not behind you.

The U.K. edition of Anthology 1964-1998: Unfinished Business contains several tracks not on the American edition, which is a nice bonus, but it's not a great difference, not enough to warrant an extended search or significantly more money if you're buying this on import. However, if you happen across it for a good price, or if you live in the U.K., they make this already-excellent collection even better.
