In Reply to: Best label for sound quality on classical SACDs? posted by ruxtonvet on August 18, 2010 at 18:50:17:
Most of them have great audio and as far as performances few SACD's labels can match their consistent high standards, Munch, Paray, and Reiner where just something else, true legends.
I was listening to the "Scenes from Salome and Elektra" just now, it is sublime in every respects.
Get them now, they will soon be collectors items; a few of them are already fetching crazy prices.
I found that most of SA-CD net ratings are unreliable.
Check "Audiophile auditions" for a different perpective.
I also like Pentatone especially the old Phillips quadrophonic recordings as you are assured of not only good sound but great performances.
