It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: New HiRes Sheherazade from Chandos

I think I'll take you up on your suggestion and give that new Chandos recording a try. For some reason, Kal didn't seem to think that much of the performance (over on SA-CD.net), but I'll try to download it tomorrow and report back too.

I just obtained (yet again!) the Reiner/CSO Living Stereo recording (this time in the Analogue Productions SACD incarnation) a couple of months ago - IMHO the best remastering yet of that great and classic performance.



However, my favorite Sheherazade is the little known Pavel Kogan / Moscow State SO performance on Classic Records - the conductor is a crazy man, yet the performance never goes off the rails!



It's also 24/192 (but from an analogue source), but I regret the DVD-Audio did not have multi-channel tracks on it, since it was apparently originally recorded in surround.

As for the Toronto Symphony, they already have a recording that's one of the great audio touchstones IMHO - one of the best engineered recordings I've ever heard (can't remember if it's 24/48 or 24/96):
