New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

Grain of salt, textually

I have not heard the SACD, but I do know something about the music, and for my money, all performances that do not take into account Georg Solti's manuscript sleuthing as evidenced on his early-1980s digital effort in Chicago are going to come up short musically. He found tempo and performance direction errors in the printed score.

But just to prove that there is always someone who willfully wants to be perverse, I saw a recording last year (did not buy it) the Unique Selling Proposition of was that they left off the coda, which was composed and tacked on after the Boston Symphony debut. Like, duuh. Why not allow poor Mr. Bartok to have his final thoughts on the work portrayed?

Later,

JM
