Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto: Getz/Gilberto      (2 of 3 found this review helpful)
  August 26, 2007

I just came across flytomars' review - very interesting, thanks for your comments. I have the Japanese SACD version and have never noticed this noise at 15kHz that you mention.

I must join in the agreement in recommending this disc. The quality of the sound takes your breath away. Tellingly, it ... more

This is another Pentatone reissure of a classic disc. The transfer is first rate - on my system I can hear no obvious faults with this SACD. It is not up to the standard of an audiophile demonstration disc - the imaging is a little bit too woolly for that - but this is only a very minor criticism. ... more
