Is this for real. Wow. Wonder if it's DSD or just upsampled 24/88.1?

Looks good. I have a niche waiting for this as long as reviews here and elsewhere indicate that its better than that dreadfully sung Channel Classics version that appeared a couple of years ago. It'll sit in nicely next to my beloved Harnoncourt DVD-A and will replace the aforemention Channel set.
p.s. anyone know anything about the accompanying DVD?

There is an interesting video on youtube about the new Jacobs SACD release:

... and it does seem to look very promising indeed. Pre-ordered. It may be especially of interest to the surround crowd (see the video).

ASIDE:
Although I am quite fond of the one-voice per part approach as used by Kuijken for the cantatas, ... in the case of St Matthew's Passion, Kuijken's SACD version:
Bach: St Matthew Passion - Kuijken
... just does not have sufficient gravitas to work for me. I suspect the Jacobs will be much more successful, based on the snippets I have heard.

Would someone know whether the original recording format is DSD or the 24bit/96kHz PCM on sale from two online download stores? I would like to purchase this piece in a format as close to the master as possible.
Thanks for your help.

AMAZON UK have a very attractive pre-order price on this at the moment ... and a further about 16% off if you live outside the UK for VAT.

I have to say, it's a pretty hideous cover. Reminds me of the equally bad Harnoncourt one.
