See below the post about the "Budapest Live" SACD initiated by Russell last summer. Right around that time Russell brought his copy and I was completely sold on the performances and sound quality.I gotta tell ya I have found 'Budapest Live' to be an amazing disc. The raw and funky exhuberence of the orchestra propels the listener through these performances. The musicians and the audience overflow with authsiasm coupled with the *glorious* sound (multi-channel here)transports you smack dab in the middle of the venue. The only thing that bothered me was after a couple of listens all the applause began to get to me a bit. There was applause after every one of the 12 performances and after a while I wanted to jump up a shout "enough already". And I am one who, in this forum, has staunchly defended applause during live recordings. But I was talking about *ending* applause.
My kudos about the sound notwithstanding, in last summer's thread Botanico92007 offered insightful comments about the recording that differ from what I hear or was listening for. I may listen again today with Botanico's comments in mind. Botanico was willing to sale his copy to me and I am *most* pleased.
