New arrival! I sampled a stereo version of this and couldn't get into it. I heard the screeching and said "Nope". Next I see all my QQ friends listening to this and loving it. And then @edisonbaggins does his review and describes the 5.1 mix a showpiece. So dropped the $22 at Amazon and the disc arrived the next day. And now my mind is blown over the active 5.1 mix and the beauty of the Atmos mix. Now I'm a fan. Really happy I got this before it becomes out of print.

The band and David Fridmann really go to town with their surround mixes. The Soft Bulletin and At War With The Mystics 5.1s are also a real treat
 
Ravel: Selected Orchestral Works MFSL SACD 4.0 & 5.0

*The first 5 tracks are the typical classical style, with 4.0 and front ambience to the rears; however track 6 is 5.0 with slightly more of a discrete mix, with the choral more focused coming from the rears.

This is an excerpt from the liner notes below:

"... in the case of Daphnis and Chloé - the choir in the rear of the hall, singing towards the stage, but also being picked up by the ambience mics in the hall. (widely space cardioids facing away from the stage.)"

"... The center channel was derived via an AGM TSS1 processor which is based on ambisonic algorithms. ..."
