2020 SURROUND RELEASES

[Kal Rubinson]

The Handel Concerti Grossi are excellent, as is the first volume. Vivacious performances and excellent MCH sound.

 

[OdysseyMusik]

Dear surround'ers!

I have updated Haikubass' data and sorted all releases after name (2009-2019) in this Google Sheet
A nice place to look up artists for a quick overview!

The numbers of releases those years are here:

So it looks like the releases from 2016 are doubled compared to the releases 2009-2014. Let's hope it will grow even more in the years to come!

I guess that is mostly pop, rock & electronic. Maybe there is a few classical releases too; If all classical releases should be there I think the sheet will explode

 

[bmoura]

If all classical releases should be there I think the sheet will explode

Yes, there are many more Multichannel releases each month (and year) in Classical Music than pop, rock and electronic music.
Not to mention Multichannel Jazz releases.

The chart would indeed "explode" if all Multichannel releases were included vs. the titles counted here.

Are these the same releases as the flacs already available or new mixes?

 

[OdysseyMusik]

Are these the same releases as the flacs already available or new mixes?

Yep - Robert Rich would like to have a physical release of the flacs, and I give him a hand with that (for free) in these hard times for musicians

 

[Q4-Bert]

I have already all the flac, but would love to see the Atlas Dei album included with the video version from the DVD.

 

[hi-res_edition]

Last July I reviewed the surround and hi-res editions of Tactile Ground, and absolutely welcome 3 Blu-Ray's filled with his surround material over a 12 year period! Here is my review for those considering the Robert Rich BD's. Robert Rich - Tactile Ground - FLAC 5.1 download review

 

[mwhealton]

It is exciting to hear of a set of Robert Rich surround disks. Will be looking out for those. I'd love Tactile Ground, also Filaments, and ... gosh there are a good handful at least!

 

[OdysseyMusik]

I have already all the flac, but would love to see the Atlas Dei album included with the video version from the DVD.

Yeah! Would be nice to make blu-ray with video, but I can only make them with still pictures.

Was a DVD released at some time?
