Salieri, C. Bartoli

Hi Frank,
I did a review in the German section of the forum.
In short, this is one of the best SACDs in both artistic and recording point of view I heard so far.

In my opinion it's positively a 'Must Have' and if you don't have a SACS player yet this is the right moment to get one.

BTW, another 'Must Have' is the new SACD with Bach's Violin Concertos played by Hillary Hahn. Even if you already have various versions of these concertos in your shelf I'm pretty sure you'll want to add this SACD to your collection, too.

Kind regards, Wilfried

Hey Wilfried!

I don't have a sacd-player so I'll buy the audio-cd. I hope it's about the same quality as the sacd.

Hi Frank,

...I hope it's about the same quality as the sacd.

presuming the CD and SACD stereo track were drawn from identical masters the CD will also sound perfectly.
The SACD is a hybrid that also plays on every regular CD Player, so if the price difference in UK is not too big in my opinion going for the SACD could also be a good option because you already have a hires and multichannel disk when you replace your CDP later.

Your personal opinion on that disk will be very welcomed.

- Kind regards, Wilfried

Hey!

Bought it today! GREAT!

What an intense voice of Cecilia! A great orchestra! And very good music by Salieri! That's really a great recording!
