Best SACD's

What artists do you like?

Best recording: Prières sans Paroles, French music for Trumpet and Organ, played by Håkan Hardenberger, Simon Preston (on the BIS label)
Favorite Recording: tough, but a few might be the Benjamin Britten Cello Suites played by Peter Wispelwey (Channel Classics), the Mercury reissues (several, but the Janos Starker Bach cello suites is excellent); and personally I like Appalachian Journey

Like the above posters some that I truly enjoy are:

Beck - Sea Change
Elton John - Madman across the Water
Bob Dylan - Nashville Skyline
Alison Kraus & Union Station - Live.
Los Lobos - This Time
Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker

I am a casual classical listener and the SACD of living stereo's Heifetz double concertos is pretty amazing.

A friend has the (red rose) Levison Demo disc and some Chesky Sacd's that are fun to listen to.

Tpreaves asks a good question. Find what you like and try it (IF it is available on SACD), otherwise, what's the point?

Have Fun!

Film score to 'The Mission'. The SACD version blows away the regular cd.

Just because a disc is SACD doesn't mean it's that great. I have many, many SACD's and some are very good and some aren't. I have exchanged emails with a half dozen or so audiophiles who prefer the popular Allison Krause Live CD over the uber expensive collectible SACD - so go figure. I have found over the years that many of my non-SACD discs by First Impression Music, Sony Red's, Telarc, Mapleshade, EMI Classics, etc. are every bit as good or better than many of my SACD's. There are well known SACD review websites I need not mention here, you know them or will find them. I don't know your music tastes, but give these non-SACD's a test drive and hear what think:

Grieg, Peer Gynt, Sir Thomas Beecham, EMI Classics

Jacques Loussier Trio, The Brandenburgs, Telarc Jazz

Mozart Symphonies 38 & 41, Rene Jacobs, Harmonia Mundi

Brian Bromberg, Wood, Artisan Music

Sonny Rollins, A Night at the Village Vanguard, Blue Note

Melodia Para Congas, Jungle and the Saxophone, Mapleshade

Master of Chinese Percussion, Yim Hok-Man, FIM

It's about the music (the source) above all else!
