Now this is curious. Amazon Japan lists this as running 94 minutes and yet it is only on one disc. Hmmm. Single layer no doubt makes it possible to run RBCD quality on a SACD, but what's going on with this release?

Nothing probably. Single layer discs in part allow the use of both "areas" of an SACD (area "0" = stereo, area "1" = multichannel) to be assigned to the stereo layer. There is no reduction in quality back to RBCD: Red book is not at play here. This is all scarlet book standard, in your case a 2012 DSD transfer from tape at Emil Berliner studios.

The recent Scribendum two disc SACD release of vintage Melodiya Mravinsky (SC603, EAN:5060028046034) is a single layer, single area disc of stereo DSD data with 240 minutes on one disc and 255 on the other. These are compressed on the SACD disc using DST compression. Uncompressed this represents about 19.5GB of DSD all told. Some of the Tokyo FM concert discs are running in excessive of 90 minutes on single layer, the Modern Jazz Quartet single layer SHM release had 93 minutes odd of data on a single disc.
