Previous poster(Castor) is right, this Ecousence SACD is a shinning star among a plethora of Wagner SACDs on the market. IF you can own only one Wagner SACD this is the one, this gem have the right stuff to please a veteran W fan or a novice one.
This is my kind of SACD, Stereo only, single layer, long time(31 tracks, 92:50), suberb recording in 24bits/176/192kHz and a gorgeous colour booklet with lots of interesting photos, suberb performance, that make my imagination fly with the music, not call my attention on a new ''modern'' arragement or silly accentuation on every opportunity. Mr.Friedmann Dressler have my congratulation for this new symphonic score, surely a herculanean work, Me.Jonathan Darlington is outstanding too in his podium, with a vibrant and emotional performance, that is all about the musical art. You can not wrong with this SACD, 17,50euros price and under 3euros ship is a bargain, I look forward for more Acousence SACDs. Highly recommended for W fans, orchestral music fans, and mainly for good music fans.
