The front to back imaging is so 3D that I was laughing to myself over memories of once sitting at the center of 5 speakers.

Just before I read your post!

OK, perhaps it's not 5 channel... - Ivan303 19:23:27 07/25/16 (2)
But certainly FOUR as I think it's directly from the 'Quadraphonic' tapes.

Could be wrong?
- Yup - looks like a Pentatone RQR recording to me too! ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 23:45:02 07/25/16 (1)

    RQR LOGO on the back of the CD.
    
    Yep, I ordered it.
    
    Even without having a multi-channel system. Perhaps the SACD sounds better than the original Phillips CD?
+1, and also his Musical Offering [nt] - steve.ott@kctcs.edu 14:04:30 07/25/16 (0)

I have that album and agree. I also have a Marriner-conducted 1978 b-minor Mass on Phlips that I find most enjoyable.

I don't think I was ever more than curious about five channels. A lifetime collection of LPs offers more pleasure than I can find time for.

Not under the radar to me. It was in my college music library, and a listening staple for me. I've mentioned it here before.
- Sorry I missed your recommendation. I picked it up because of how much I enjoy Marriner's Musical Offering. - jdaniel@jps.net 07:55:50 07/25/16 (1)
  Love the arrangements, especially the last 20 min or so. Very moving.

    Yes, he left a large and impressive recorded legacy. It's hard to think of him as underrated, but perhaps it's unfashionable to talk about him now precisely because he was so popular and prolific.
