New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

In my experience...

"What got lost in the translation that made the audience so much more impressed than I was (or professionally paid record critics for that matter)? Well, the audience was there...."

U.S. audiences tend to give standing ovations to performances whether they consider them "quintessential" or "impressive" or not. I think that, in at least some cases, if even just one person stands up following the finale, others feel they have to follow suit lest it be thought that they've missed something or aren't "with it" (or they simply don't want to appear to be discourteous boors)--in other words, the response reflects more on audience members' perception of what others might think than on the performance or the simple fact of their being there.
