And now Analogue Productions is in the process of reissuing some of the same titles that Soundmirror issued in the original RCA SACD series from a few years ago. One big difference is that these new reissues are LESS generously filled (i.e., keeping exactly the same contents as on the original LP's). For instance, the Reiner/Chicago album of Respighi's Pines and Fountains contains only those works (just as on the LP), while the earlier Soundmirror SACD also included Debussy's La Mer.
And yet. . . although I have the earlier SACD's and XRCD's of many of these albums. . . I just couldn't help myself and gave in to the temptation of getting a couple of the new Analogue Productions SACD's: Reiner's Pines and Fountains as well as his Sheherazade. I then compared my copies of the AP SACD's, the SM SACD's, and (in the case of the Respighi) the JVC XRCD.
Maybe my assessment is influenced by our human psychology of thinking that when we pay more for something, it must be better. (Let's not even go near audio equipment here!). Nevertheless, it seems to me that the new AP SACD incarnations of these performances are the best yet in terms of timbre, separation, and sense of space (more of my comments on SA-CD.net - link below). I may be stupid, but I think I may be buying more of these AP SACD reissues as they come out. And BTW, they are planning some titles (such as the Szeryng Symphonie espagnole) which were not in the earlier SACD series. So FWIW. . .
