Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[Electric Moo]

Agree, I have some of his lute recordings on vinyl, they must be great in surround too!

Julian Bream CONCERTOS FOR LUTE & ORCHESTRA; CONCIERTO DE ARANJUEZ [RCA RED SEAL/DUTTON EPOCH/QUAD SACD] Sumptuous sonics and brilliant performances from Julian Bream and the Monteverdi Orchestra conducted by John Eliot Gardiner. TT: 69'59"

What a great disk. Really a lute concerto disk with a killer filler of the Concierto.

It is, great performance, and I think I got it for about a £1 or 2 in a DV sale some years ago!

I am curious? Why would someone downmix a 5.1 to a 2.0? If a person owned the Blu Ray of Electric Ladyland why wouldn't they just listen to either the 24/96 of the 5.1 or the 24/96 of the 2.0?
Do these people like the BD-A but they don't like RBCD (Disc1)?
Prior to the box set being released my favorite RBCD version was the 4/10/2013 Japanese Blu-Spec CD2.
Sorry for all the questions but what you said had me wondering.

Are you sure the 2.0 is not really Dolby Surround for backward compatibility?

Most DVDs have Dolby Surround as the default when a player's stereo output is used.

Another disc I've had in my library but hadn't listened to. Wonderful stuff, and in really good sound too! 1975 Philips quad recording and everything clear and very dynamic. I'm not familiar enough with the early symphonies, clearly I should be.
