I just received this out of print SACD--wow! It's easily one of the best sounding recordings that I own--incredibly rich and warm, but also very detailed. The liner notes call attention to the 1960s tube mics and Siltech cables. The music is fairly obscure, too, so it's always fun to hear unfamiliar works. I have Combattimento Consort Amsterdam's Handel Op.6, so I knew the performances would be first-rate. It's worth searching out if you love Baroque music, although I wouldn't pay $599.99 for the new copy on Amazon... :-)
