hell, no! I got this 10+ years ago when I was building my basic MCH collection..
those crazy album covers....Lenny Bernstein's one regret in life is that he didn't want to be exclusively associated with WEST SIDE STORY but rather his compositional and conducting prowness. Dutton Vocalion's 2021 QUAD SACD release of Igor Stravinsky's LE SACRE DU PRINTEMPS, SYMPHONY OF PSALMS and Francis Poulenc's GLORIA are certainly testaments to Bernstein's brilliance as a conductor and interpreter of 20th Century Composers. Though not as discrete as the Boulez SACDs, the Columbia Masterworks engineers have managed to capture every nuance of London's Symphony Orchestra and the English Bach Festival Chorus in sterling sonics. And might I add, Michael Dutton, working from the original analogue multi~tracks has managed to seamlessly integrate Gloria and the Symphony of Psalms, originally released in Stereo, into a convincing 4 corner soundstage.
I'm Leonard Bernstein and I approve this 'message!'
Really love this in quad.Don't care for the stereo albums but had to buy it just for this one,and it's worth it.
Would have liked it better if they had released the quad as a single SACD.
Dude, you absolutely crack me up. I say shit like that all the time. Most often, I say it to myself. "OK, I'm not fucking around any longer" As I crank up Sabbath. hahaha
Woke up this morning thinking about The Wall in Atmos for some reason -you know maybe helicopter in the upper speakers, and no I don't have Atmos yet, but still, that would work well with this release I believe.
Excellent choice!! Now that I have rerun Audyssey after mounting my height speakers.....I need to try this out again.
