Advice: My first SACD?

What kind of music do you like?

The advantages of SACD appear most obvious if you listen to something you're already familiar with. I remember being amazed by Ziggy Stardust even though I wouldn't rate it as one of the great SACD releases, but I knew the CD version so well that the SACD blew me away.

Ditto for Sketches of Spain by Miles Davis.

If you like Opera, check out Falstaff by Verdi on LSO Live.

If you like Orchestral, there is a lot to choose from. Name some favorite composers for us.

Cheers

Thanks for the tips. I do not know of any classical composers though I am open to trying anything. This is more an exploratory mission to just try out new music on SACD.

Think of an album you have loved forever and if it's available on SACD by it. How can you go wrong with that logic?

If you're open to trying some classical, here are two of the best known works in the classical repertoire:

(these are also excellent recordings that will show off the SACD format admirably)
