I rarely even think to look/listen for the recording type designation any more. In this case the pamphlet doesn't say. Whether DSD or PCM the sound is â€very good" but would not make my "top ten". Sound quality for the Saint Saens disc is not in the same league as, say, Fischer's Mahler 2. But I would think that the Saint-Saens disc was technically so much more difficult to pull off successfully given the "organ factor" and perhaps because it was a live venue. I suspect recording type to be a lesser factor here. So, while the "sound quality" may fall a bit less than top tier the "sonics" (pyrotechnics) are clearly top 10 material.You'll be happy to hear that the noises I referred to during the quiet passages gives the recording a distinct vinyl flavor :)
