In Reply to: RE: Strangely enough, a fair number of older recordings are available in hi-rez posted by Chris from Lafayette on September 24, 2016 at 09:27:47
but apparently previously released as an SACD now the same re-mastering in Hi Rez for that purpose. Now only available as a CD but after streaming it on QOBUZ I went ahead and bought it.
Follow Ups:
I have a Japanese import Blu-Spec CD of the Oistrakh/Ormandy Sibelius (also coupled with the Tchaikovsky) that sounds terrific. I am not aware of an earlier SACD issue for this coupling, even though you implied that one might have existed. Did I somehow miss this?
BTW, I would not characterize Oistrakh's approach to the Sibelius as "icy." Big and beefy would fit better, IMHO. But this concerto is masterful enough to benefit from widely varying interpretations. I prefer Oistrakh to Heifetz...but that's just me.
Remastered in DSD but perhaps never released as an SACD?
The DSD logo on the back of the CD implies that at some point and for some reason this particular set of tracks was converted to DSD.
Why, if not for an SACD?
And no, I can't find an SACD of this but it would not surprise me if one was released in Asia.
Link below:
He did a number of remasterings of titles from the CBS/Sony catalog in DSD, but then a number of his remastered albums were released only on CD (converted to PCM of course) and never released on SACD. I've seen Andreas at a couple of shows - he's a true believer in DSD (like Jared Sachs at Channel Classics), and although I don't share their enthusiasm for that particular digital encoding system, I'm happy to say that both Andreas and Jared do wonderful work in their chosen methodologies.
OTOH, I've also seen postings that the DSD remastering comes from an earlier effort in Japan.
