Performance: Sonics:
Proprius for the most part make great sacd's. I have purchased several and they are truly audiophile in quality. I also love guitar music and have no problem sitting there for an hour or more just listening to a guy play guitar. I have also purchased a growing number of guitar sacd's and I can attest to you that this one is certainly one of the best sounding discs I own. Proprius did not mention wehether this was a true dsd recorded disc or one copied from a master tape but in either case the sound is truly exceptional. It's highly realistic and three dimentional.
There is no compression at all so the soft sounds are truly soft and the loud parts amd THERE ARE A FEW) EXPLODE FROM THE SPEAKERS. What makes this sacd special is the sound itself. A sort of macro recording where every little sound is heard. Chair CREAKS.....BREATHING....FABRIC RUSTLING. iT'S ALMOST CREEPY.
If you like a single performer who plays beautiful spanish guitar and if you can sit through an entire sacd this way and truly enjoy it....then I can't recommend this sacd to you more heartily. Proprius has done a terrific job recording this suite of songs. And the guitarist is very talented.
