Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[Hamilton59]

Which ones would you say have the most discrete mixes?

Ok, I’ve gathered up all of my Kunzel/Cincinnati Pops SACDs and sampled A few tracks from each disk. I made three groups, great, pretty good, and disappointing....
The Great:


The Pretty good:
And I’m adding this Telarc Sampler disk to this group as well. Some tracks make more use of rear channels than others....

and lastly The Disappointing:

This last group had very little mixed to the rear channels. I noticed louder drum hits and orchestra volume swells, but mainly a wider stereo image.

Just my opinion...for what’s it worth.

Thank you for taking the time to do this.

This POST reminded me of a wonderful disc

John Luther Adams Become Desert
as @humprof notes: "it's a really good, immersive listen." And highly lauded:

Love this music & mix. Hate to say this but I had to adjust the audio output with a smiley face EQ curve.
