OMG, Deep Purple with orchestra, following Scorpions w/orchestra - tunenut 20:51:45 08/11/02 (4)
and I know Procol Harum made a record with an orchestra. And Siegel-Schwall put out 3 Pieces for Blues Band and Orchestra. I'm guessing Yes must have played with an orchestra. And I never bought any of these strange uneasy combinations on any format. And I don't intend to start now.

  my favorite classical piece of all time, it is possible for SACD release as it was on Deutsche Grammophon. This is reallly really super cool.
  - wow, I am amazed - tunenut 10:25:36 08/12/02 (2)
    I pulled this quite obscure example out of deep memory- I never owned it. Your favorite classical piece of all time? I guess if I run across one, I'll pick it up.
    - The DGG LP sound is a bit bright, if you can play and can find the Ampex 7 1/2 ips 2 Track Open Reel - Teresa 20:21:22 08/12/02 (1)
      tape version that is the one to get for now. I'm praying that DGG releases this on SACD. The other side is a excellent performance of Bernstein's West Side Story.
      Some background: Seiji Ozawa was in a bar in Berlin listening to the Seigel-Schwall band. While he was pouring of William Russo's score for his Symphony No. 1 "The Titan's" (never released) and thought WOW, if I could get these two together. And thus was born William Russo's Three Pieces for Blues Band and Orchestra.
      By the way Jon Lord's Concerto for Rock Group and Orchestra isn't bad either.

        I would not be able to play it, so LP it will be, if I ever see it, and someday I know that I will. As far as the probability of SACD release, I would say it is equally likely as the earth's destruction by asteroid collision.

Done in the same fashion as the recent Bryan Ferry-Frantic title. The info for the dvd-a is:

- based on the price, it looks like I'll be getting the DVD-Audio as it is only £1 more than the CD - Teresa 19:53:31 08/11/02 (5)
  and the SACD is £9 more.

  - And if its a PCM master .... - dkB 20:49:05 08/11/02 (4)
    .. the DVD-A might even sound potentially better than the SACD. I am thinking of getting the CDs of Deep Purple and Led Zepplin stuff, and for such music, you don't hear the full measure of the improvements of SACD.
    - this will be from Analog masters as it was recorded in 1967 (nt) - Teresa 23:40:54 08/11/02 (3)

      - actually, no (probably) - curbach 08:03:20 08/12/02 (2)

        The latest incarnation of Deep Purple (with Steve Morse on guitar) recently performed the Concerto as sort of an all-star anniversary celebration event. The show was released as a 2 cd set and I would expect that is what the DVD-A release would be. The original Concerto (even the re-release with bonus tracks) was only 1 disc.
        
        sorry I didn't know they re-recorded it. (nt) - Teresa 20:26:21 08/12/02 (1)

        looks like it's the original Analog recording after all from 1969 (I was off by 2 years): Details -- - Teresa 20:31:02 08/13/02 (0)
