...the levee has broken, dudes.

And...I have been off on a misty mountain hop in the Sounds & Clouds courtesy of Jared Sacks. Fantastic album! Of course the Vivaldi is good, but it's the atmospheric performances of Hosokowa's music that I find so intoxicatingly irresistible.

Actually, I've been wondering what the h*** we're going to do when Channel stops producing SACDs.

Downloads!? Egad!!

When Jared Sacks runs out of Classical composers to mine perhaps he'll start producing HEAVY METAL downloads........double egads!:yikes

BTW, any discrete elements in Sounds & Clouds, Brett?

And ooooh what a vast & deep mine it is!!! Jared will be kept busy mining for years and years That's one of the beauties of classical music, Ralphie. I know Brian the Maven will say get with the program and start doing Quad DSD. Well, this headbanger is just hoping Channel keeps releasing SOME of their heavenly recordings on SACD.

Nothing uber discrete à la Tacet, but the soundstage has a wonderful depth...creating an immersive ambience which perfectly suits the music and venue.

Olé Brett, a most charming album. One of the early 2L SACD/BD~A combo discs in, as always, superb sonics and brilliant repertoire.

Yes, it truly is a wonderful release from 2L. The discrete surround mix is among the best available. And these violin works by this Paganini of the North are a real pleasure to listen to.

An exquisite collection of modern pieces for harp, strings and voice...
Excellent discrete surround mix.
 
I am :banana: . Still in catch-up mode, should have started collecting discs earlier. Now I NEED the rest of his SACD's and...and...:violin
EJ's a great place to start collecting. I began this journey into surround media about 4 months ago, and found his SACD's relatively easy to find, well executed, and inexpensive. I have all of Elton's, and around 35 other various and sundry titles. Hard to stop, but the wallet says I must take a break...

I think we have the same brand, my wallet says the same :D
 
After listening to Beck, Bogert & Appice and The Jeff Beck Group SACDs, I've followed them up with Miles Davis' In a Silent Way. Now I'm spending time with an old friend I've missed a bit lately.

I've just learned that Nektar frontman Roye Albrighton passed away last week. I just had to put some on. RIP Roye.
