Sting - Brand New Day (hybrid multichannel) (A&M)
Free of the restraints of proving himself as a solo musician, this
1999 release from Sting is very light and effervescent, feeling little
like anything in Sting's catalog to that point. The original 10 tracks
are punctuated by their sparkling, meticulous production and "End of
the Game" is included as a bonus track.
5.1 SACD - $17.99
Various Artists – Challenge SACD Compilation – It’s The Birth Of A New
Sound (Hybrid Multichannel) (Challenge)
The Challenge label has been issuing great-sounding hybrid SACD's for
several years already by top caliber jazz and classical artists.
They've now issued a mid-priced compilation feature an excellent
fifteen track sampling from their catalogue with the emphasis on jazz.
The top names include Bob Brookmeyer, Jaki Byard, and Kenny Wheeler.
5.1 SACD - $9.99
Rachmaninov – Piano Concerto #3 –Jon Nakamatsu, Rochester
Philharmonic, Seaman (Hybrid Multichannel) (Harmonia Mundi)
Gold Medal winner of the Tenth Van Cliburn International Piano
Competition, Jon Nakamatsu returns to the work that clinched his
victory, the Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No.3, coupled with another
favorite showpiece, the Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini – stirring,
emotional performances on a grand scale. This was always a Music
Direct best-seller as a standard CD, and now, remastered on Hybrid,
Multi-channel SACD, this is one to hear!
5.1 SACD - $19.99
Henry Kaiser & Wadada Leo Smith – Yo Miles! Sky Garden (2CDs) (Hybrid
Multichannel) (Cuneiform) $24.99
Yo Miles! was formed in 1998 to explore, expound and expand on Davis’
mid-70s electric music. For Sky Garden, Yo Miles!’s 2nd recording and
1st release on Cuneiform, Kaiser and Smith have assembled an all-star
cast culled from both the jazz and rock communities. The lineup here
includes Smith on trumpet; Kaiser, Mike Keneally and Chris Muir on
electric guitars; Michael Manring on bass; Steve Smith on drums; Karl
Perazzo on percussion; Greg Osby (alto) and John Tchicai (tenor and
soprano) on saxophones; and Tom Coster on percussion. It also features
special guests Zakir Hussain on tabla, Dave Creamer on guitar, and the
ROVA Sax Quartet. This set is about equally split between Miles'
compositions and original compositions in the electric Miles style.
Aros – Train Song (Hybrid Multichannel) (Songlines) $19.99
Amsterdam-based Aros is an international sextet co-led by Canadian
saxophonist Rob Armus and Austrian classical pianist music Marion von
Tilzer. Their collective influences and experience notably include
American jazz and improvised music, European classical and new music,
and tango. Imagine for example Astor Piazzolla and Philip Glass
combining forces to create modal jazz with an occasional nod to free
improv.
Tchaikovsky – Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 3, Scherbakov, Piano,
Yablonsky – Russian Philharmonic Orchestra (hybrid multichannel)
(Naxos)	$14.99
Tchaikovsky retains his position as the most popular of all Russian
composers. His music offers obvious superficial charms in its winning
melodies and vivid orchestral colors. Here we are treated to two piano
concertos from the master as interpreted by Konstantin Scherbakov and
the Russian Philharmonic under the experienced direction of Dmitry
Yablonsky.
Tchaikovsky – Swan Lake, Yablonsky – Russian Symphony Orchestra
(hybrid multichannel) (Naxos) $14.99
Tchaikovsky’s compositions for the theatre include three full-length
ballets, Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty and Nutcracker. This
performance of Swan Lake by the Russian State Symphony Orchestra under
the baton of Dmitry Yablonsky is a superb recording containing the
entire ballet on 2 CDs.
Lang Lang – Live At Carnegie Hall (2CDs) (Hybrid Multichannel)
(Deutsche Grammophon)	$17.99
Throughout its long and rich history New York's Carnegie Hall and
great pianism have been synonymous. Many of these occasions, of
course, resulted in commercial recordings, including Lang Lang's
Carnegie Hall recital debut on 7 November 2003. Although Lang Lang had
barely celebrated his 21st birthday at the time of this recording, his
portfolio already boasts an impressive array of high-profile,
international appearances. Here he performs pieces from Schumann,
Haydn, Schubert, Chopin, Lizt and more!
Nai-Chung Kuan – The Legend of Guqin, Concerto For Goqin And Piano –
Shan Kiu, Guqin and Vocal (hybrid multichannel) (First Impressions)
$24.99
A remarkable blend of of ancient and modern, this new recording made
in pure DSD features the oldest known Chinese plucked instrument, the
guqin, which has been in existence for over 5000 years. Like a small
koto, it produces a very rich sound when plucked. Here, three
different guqins (ranging in age from 1,000 to 2,000 years old!) are
played by guqin virtuoso Shan Kiu with a first class ensemble. This
ancient music is newly arranged by renown Chinese composer/conductor
Nai-Chung Kuan, while the first piece, "Taichi Concerto For Guqin &
Piano" is a new work written exclusively for this work.
Vivaldi – The Four Seasons A Dresden Version With Winds, and Guido –
Scherzi Armonici Sopra The Four Seasons Dell’ Anno (hybrid
multichannel) (CPO) $16.99
The Dresden version of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons was orchestrated to
include wind instruments. Here, the spring is endowed with recorders,
oboes, horns and bassons--and suddenly everything blossoms even more
vividly! Both works were recorded with period instruments in surround
sound.
Franz Lehar – Der Sterngucker, Goritzki – Deutsche Kammerakademie
Neuss (hybrid multichannel) (2 disc) (CPO) $29.99
After its premier in 1916, Lehar's The Stargazer was praised as
"certainly the finest and most ravishing one that Lehar has written so
far". The operetta is a captivating lyrical chamber drama, full of
Lhear's most tenderly passionate music, yet remains among Lehar's most
under-appreciated works.
Scarlatti – Il Giardino Di Rose Symphonie & Concertos – Ottavio
Dantone, Accademia Bizantina (Hybrid Multichannel) (Decca) $17.99
Ottavio Dantone and the Accademia Bizantina present six ''new''
Scarlatti harpsichord concertos — the result of a great deal of
detective work inspired by manuscripts held in the British Library in
London. Ottavio Dantone decided to reconstruct the complete works
using information in the scores to recreate the missing parts for
string orchestra. The resulting concertos are the product of much
intuition, logic and a deep knowledge of the styles and conventions of
the period. In addition to the six ''new'' concertos, Accademia
Bizantina offer six rarely-heard Scarlatti sinfonias. This record has
excellent harpsichord sound particularly in relation to the orchestra.
Shostakovich – Piano Works – Ashkenazy (Hybrid Multichannel) (Decca)
$17.99
Vladimir Ashkenazy is a master of interpreting 20th century Russian
piano music. This unique selection from Dmitri Shostakovich's solo
piano works was inspired by the critical acclaim garnered for the
complete Preludes and Fugues he recorded a few years ago. The program
is headed by one of the composer's most substantial works, the second
piano sonata. There is also a selection of lighter, shorter works
extracted from some of his most celebrated film scores — including two
pieces from The Gadfly. The disc closes with the Polka from his
best-known ballet score, The Age of Gold. Also present are the Three
Fantastic Dances, the set of 10 Aphorisms, and the Five Preludes of
1920–2. This one of Decca's first releases exclusively on hybrid SACD
which includes stereo and 4-channel surround mixes.
Johannette Zomer, Peter Harvey – Death & Devotion – Netherlands Bach
Society, Veldhoven (Hybrid Multichannel) (Channel Classics) $19.99
This collection of music by Buxtehude and his contemporaries features
star soloists Johanette Zomer and Peter Harvey accompanied by Jos van
Veldhoven and the Netherlands Bach Society. The music is refined,
erudite vocal music strongly inspired by concertante church music in
Italy.
Astor Piazzolla – La Grand Tango –Katona Twins (Hybrid Multichannel)
(Channel Classics) $19.99
Regardless of the instruments chosen, Piazzolla always included a
guitar in his chamber groups. Although he only wrote one piece for two
solo guitars, the number of pieces he composed which included guitar
prove that Piazzolla saw the guitar as an instrument at the heart of
Tango music. This CD features his original guitar duet, the "Tango
Suite", and several other pieces that the Katonas have arranged over
the past years.
Haydn – Seven Last Words (piano version) – Jaroslav Tuma (Hybrid
Multichannel) (Praga) $19.99
In this version as played by Czech keyboardist Jaroslav Tuma, the
music reveals the beauty of timbre and full sound of the instrument
used: a copy of a pianoforte built by the Viennese firm Walter & Sons
in 1806.
Beethoven – String Quartets 10 & 11 – Prazak Quartet (Hybrid
Multichannel) (Praga) $19.99
The Prazak Quartet are among the elite of the major international
ensembles. After nearly 30 years of playing together, the Prazak
perform the complete cycle of the Beethoven string quartets. This
fourth volume, pairing the two masterpieces of 1809-10, aptly
demonstrates the talent and artistry the Prazak inherited from their
teachers and mentors, the Vlach and Smetana and LaSalle Quartets.
Harmen Fraanje Quartet featuring Nelson Veras – Sonatala (Hybrid
Multichannel) (Challenge) 	$17.99
The Harmen Fraanje Quartet was founded in the summer of 2002. Bass
player and composer Hein Van de Geyn invited the musicians to his
theater, where they spent an extraordinary week together. Harmen
Fraanje’s music found a miraculous medium within this group, and
phenomenal Brazilian guitarist Nelson Veras was able to add perfect,
magical color to the already sparkling piano trio sound. Features
liner notes by harmonica legend Toots Thielemans!
Bach – The Art Of Fugue – New Century Saxophone Quartet (Hybrid
Multichannel) (Channel Classics) $19.99
This project is the culmination of over eight years studying,
rehearsing and performing Bach, and even in it's "final" form on this
disc represents a work in progress. On this disc, it is the New
Century Saxophone Quartet's sincere desire to present the music of
Bach in a way that is true to his intentions and the stylistic
practices of the period, and yet with a vitality and freshness that
can come from over 250 years of perspective.
Liszt – Annees de Pelerinage – Muza Rubackyte (Hybrid Multichannel)
(Lyrinx) $64.99
In this long travel diary in music whose composition extends over a
period of some 40 years, Liszt expresses his search for the absolute.
Albeniz – Iberia, Suite Espagnole – Herve Billaut (Hybrid
Multichannel) (Lyrinx) $49.99
The picturesque miniatures imbued with the spirit of popular music of
the Spanish Suite, published in 1884, already reflect Albeniz’
personal research in the way they herald the later masterpiece Iberia
in several respects. Seville, for instance, a sun-drenched evocation
of the Sevillana, the dance that symbolizes this town, has refrains
with typical rhythms alternating with couplets inspired by flamenco
improvisations. These saetas belong to the deepest and most profound
form of the flamenco song, the cante jondo, which is found later in
the Iberia cycle. Today some of these tableaux may perhaps give an
impression of superficiality and lack of depth in their evocation of
Spain, though others such as Granada, Cadiz, Asturias or Aragon are
particularly successful, and have remained lasting favorites with the
general public.
Mozart – Requiem – Scottish Chamber Orch, Mackerras (Hybrid
Multichannel) (Linn) $22.99
The version heard on this disc seeks to address the problems of
instrumentation, grammar and structure within Süssmayr's version while
respecting the 200-year-old history of the Requiem. A clearly drawn
line of separation, in which everything except the contents of
Mozart's autograph was to be considered spurious per se, was
explicitly rejected. Rather, the goal was to revise not as much, but
as little as possible, attempting in the revisions to observe the
character, texture, voice leading, continuity and structure of
Mozart's music. The traditional version has been retained insofar as
it agrees with idiomatic Mozartean practice. The more transparent
instrumentation of the new completion was inspired by Mozart's other
church music.
Hilmar Jensson – Ditty Blei (Hybrid Multichannel) (Songlines) $19.99
Here an acoustic quintet runs with Jensson's challenging compositions,
giving them a rhythmic flair and melodic/harmonic interest that might
recall Chris Speed's "Yeah No" in its balance between offbeat grooves
and improvisational freedom, rock extraversion and jazz discipline.
Intricate counterpoint from the horns, abrasive guitar solos,
constantly shifting meters, and Black's time-bending percussive
commentary complete the picture. All with a stark but tender emotional
underpinning that engages the listener.
Bach – Violin Concertos –Andrew Manze, Rachel Podger, Academy of
Ancient Music (Hybrid Multichannel) (Harmonia Mundi) $19.99
Andrew Manze directs the Academy of Ancient Music (featuring violinist
Rachel Podger) in what the BBC Music Magazine called a recording
filled with "...unparalleled energy, an irresistibly bounding pulse
and sparkling articulation from top to bottom."
The Powers Of Heaven – Paul Hillier, Estonian Philharmonic Chamber
Choir (Hybrid Multichannel) (Harmonia Mundi) $19.99
For their second recording together, Paul Hillier leads the Estonian
Philharmonic Chamber Choir in a selection of deeply moving sacred
choral masterworks from the Slavic tradition of “Divine worship.”
Dmitry Bortniansky’s sublime setting of The Cherubic Hymn represents
one of the supreme summits of Orthodox liturgy.
Rachmaninov – Piano Concerto #3 –Jon Nakamatsu, Rochester
Philharmonic, Seaman (Hybrid Multichannel) (Harmonia Mundi) $19.99
Gold Medal winner of the Tenth Van Cliburn International Piano
Competition, Jon Nakamatsu returns to the work that clinched his
victory, the Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No.3, coupled with another
favorite showpiece, the Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini – stirring,
emotional performances on a grand scale.
Tavener – Total Eclipse, Agraphon – Academy Of Ancient Music, Goodwin
(Hybrid Multichannel) (Harmonia Mundi) $19.99
“This is music that aspires to convey a sudden flash of insight that
resonates through eternity. Tavener […] ranges fearlessly over time,
space and tradition. The standing ovation that followed was testament
to both the work’s impact on the audience and his cult status.” – THE
GUARDIAN, review of the first performance of “TOTAL ECLIPSE” at St.
Paul’s Cathedral
Various Artists – Challenge SACD Compilation – It’s The Birth Of A New
Sound (Hybrid Multichannel) (Challenge) $9.99

 Novità SACD
Dato che hai scritto "SACD-For audiophiles eyes only (astenersi detrattori)"
perchè mai dovrebbero astenersi coloro che la pensano in modo diverso dalla
tua? un NG è fatto apposta per sentire tutte le opinioni, a me l'argomento
non interessa, ma dato che hai fatto quella prenmessa, dico che quello
standard ormai è decotto, se voleva affermarsi l'avrebbe già fatto, invece
sta facendo la fine dello stereo 8, betamax, quadrifonia e compagnia,
l'esiguo e misero elenco dei titoli che ti affanni con meticolosa insistenza
a propinare lo dimostra, ripetendo 100 volte gli stessi titoli, questi  non
aumentano.

contro-contro ritorsioni, faide, vendette, ecc. ecc.
Beh, si è attaccato ad un link solo per fare rumore, è evidente.
Non mi meraviglio, perché penso che il suo compito qua sopra (almeno
da quando è apparso con "tilde", perché del resto non so) sia proprio
quello di aizzare creando confusione e sconcerto, per poi lasciare
libero campo (e sfogo) ai suoi sodali e colleghi, sempre intenti ad
apporre "ad libitum" link pubblicitari, sul ng non ammessi, sotto ogni
messaggio...
L'umanità di IHHF che vorrebbe vivere tranquilla e serena, parlando di
hi-fi deve purtroppo sorbirsi le miserie fanatiche di pochi
disturbatori.

come tuo stile del resto la parola querela è una costante nella tua carriera
di netkook, speri di aver a che fare con una donnicciuola che arrossisce a
tali parolone.
Devi essere in stato ben alterato, se da letterato quale sei non hai colto
neppure la mancanza del soggetto nei messaggi che non ti sono piaciuti, mi
pare di vederti davanti all'Ufficiale, a rivendicare la paternità di quella
buffa desinenza: " Vede? quello li F|A|D sono io sottoscritto...... quello
che viene qui spesso, si anche quell'altro con le stanghettine orizzontali
F_A_D .. si si certo anche con le stanghettine oblique, ed ovvio che domande
anche senza le stanghettine, sempre io non si era capito? quindi tutte
queste cosacce erano rivolte al sottoscritto, scriva scriva.... ha detto che
F|A|D puntolini puntolini" .
Vorrei vedere la scena, tu invece hai aperto dei 3D appositi mettendo il
soggetto eccome, inoltre quello che ho aggiunto io non era a caso cara mio,
adesso rivedi il film al rallentatore, forse riesci a capire meglio.
