Yes it is - the Analogue Productions SACD is a completely independent re-mastering from the one that Soundmirror did for BMG. There was a discussion about the two SACD incarnations over at SA-CD.net a month or so ago and the consensus of those who have heard both (including moi) was that the Analogue Productions SACD was worth its "3x the price for half the amount of music" in terms of slight improvements in spatial definition, tone quality, etc. (Sorry I have to report that, but it's true!) Same is true for the Reiner recording of Respighi's Pines and Fountains. I still think the BMG SACD's are excellent, but the couple of Analogue Productions SACD's I've heard (i.e., R-K and Respighi) are even better.
