Audiogon "SACD's TO DIE FOR" list


Any favorite SACD's that offer a substantial improvement over their redbook counterparts?
Mine are: DAVE BRUBECK "TIME OUT", MILES DAVIES "KIND OF BLUE", TITANIC SOUNDTRACK, GETZ GILBERTO.

Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade; Stravinsky: Song of the Nightingale (Living Stereo)Wonderful Dynamics and very emotional performance (three channel recording as was the original)

Avalon - Roxy Music is my favourite for a multi channel disk

Eleanor McEvoy's Yola (full bodied sound)

Elton John's Goodbye yellow brick road (the acoustic version of Candle in the wind had my jaw all the way down to the floor )
Hey! Just listening to the Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade; Stravinsky: Song of the Nightingale (Living Stereo) for the first time myself last night. It was so capturing, that although I was tired to the point of getting off my chair and lying on the floor with the lights out and a pillow, I wanted to continue to listen. It was only 9:30 pm!

I agree I love that SACD very captivating. The Josha Heifeitz(spelling?) is also very good as is the New World Symphony.

Chuck,

They certainly are! I bought all 20 of the RCA Living Stereo SACDs and have been slowly and methodically enjoying them. For the cost of ~$210 US plus shipping, it is, to me, a great deal.
