Help Support QuadraphonicQuad:
its one of (if not 'the') hardest to find Warner DVD-A (that isn't DualDisc!)
I missed that
, and still don't see it but thanks :couch .You have to click "buy dvd" to see it, I just saw it
, sorry Clint :violin
Couldn't have found a better home
(What's your latest shopping list looking like? I imagine we're pretty much stuck looking for the same stuff..!)
I missed that
discogs listing correct, the seller's listing is not
you have to be careful with Discogs in my experience the seller's are well-meaning but things can be just as vague and haphazard as Amazon marketplace or anywhere else for that matter.. "caveat emptor" and all that! :upthumb
I don't own any Tacet SACDs, yet.. (I will start now, thanks for all the advice!) but I've a few Classical discs with more active mixes.. I will sift thru and report back

Same here. This may soon end up being my most listened to surround disc. I scored tickets to see Steven in Newark, can't wait.

Taking a little road trip up to Madison, Wi. early in June to see him at the Barrymore Theatre. I've never been to this venue but heard it's nice and intimate with good acoustics. 850 seating capacity.

Thanks everyone for your understanding and encouragement! I was deeply touched.
Classical music often relies on ambient surround sound because the venue of the performance is often as important as the instruments performing the music. The venue itself becomes an instrument...just like the body of an acoustic guitar or cello that resonates the sound of the strings. The natural resonance of the cathedral or hall expands and carries the voices of the performers. Many classical music aficionados relish this natural resonance and want recordings to capture this aspect as naturally as possible. And so, some feel immersive surround mixes take away this vital element of a recording. (But, some are just stubborn and don't want to try anything new. LOL!)
I am kind of on both sides of the fence. I enjoy lots of ambient Classical recordings. They sound absolutely beautiful to my ears. But, I also love an aggressive mix that fills the room with sounds from all over. I often get into (friendly) arguments over on SACD.net about this. Tacet and 2L are labels that are extemely good at immersive surround recordings. There are some other labels that occasionally release an immersive recording. I will try to post them as much as possible. But, forgive me if I post an ambient recording. Sometimes I just can't resist because I love this music so much. :burnout
One style of music that is very dear to my heart (and ears) is Renaissance and Baroque polyphony. The natural resonance of the venue that I referred to above can be heard spectacularly in this Audite release of music for chorus, brass, and organ. And fortunately for us, this Audite recording discretely uses the rear channels to recreate the sounds of the 4 galleries inside the Abbey Church of Muri. Giovanni Gabrieli and Heinrich Schütz are absolute masters of this style and 2 of my favorite composers!

Very true. Classical recordings often try to replicate the concert hall or recording venue with the Orchestra in the front of the room. You will hear this approach used by recordings from Channel Classics, Pentatone and others. You even hear that on Live Recordings of other genres, notably the recent Live Blues Masters recordings from Acoustic Sounds. If recreating the concert and venue is the goal, it often works quite well in my experience.
