Analog productions: RCA - Reiner/Prokofiev Lt. Kije, Gold CD or SACD, both are $30.00, any opinions as to which sounds most natural/true to the performance and venue? I have searched and read many reviews and from what I read the XRCD version seems a bit tilted towards the upper frequencies, so that appears be a non-starter. Open to other suggestions for this piece of music. The CD player, currently in use, is Not SACD capable, though that could change.
Thanks to all.
