Apparently the SACD is a poor release...


"I've played this cd on a sa-cd player in stereo. It's recorded in the music hall of my home town and on the bechstein D 280 piano which is used often in concerts in this hall. i visited many classical concerts in this hall. So I know the acoustics. It's a pity the sound on the CD isn't recorded good. There are disturbing low frequencies, there's lack of detail and the fine acoustic of the hall is never recogniced.
For the music itsself I'm also not convinced. Timing en tempo of the pieces are not my choice. It's somewhere between populair and classical and not enjoyable in either, but that's very personal I suppose.."

Yeah, I read that review too. I'm still interested in hearing the Multi-channel mix though.

I am very interested as well, mr_merrick. Always like seeing other peoples works of other composers. Will add this to my wish list, definitely :)
