...in the review hopper here. First off, Sony Music is releasing Murray Perahia, "Bach: Goldberg Variations." This is a recent (March 2000) recording; the disc ancestry is 24-bit PCM -> DSD (single layer SACD). DMP is releasing two new SACDs: Bob Mintzer Big Band, "Homage to Count Basie" (recorded May 2000); disc ancestry is "live to DSD" (hybrid SACD), with both stereo and multi-channel iterations. Like the upcoming Virgin Records SACD release of Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells," the multi-channel is specifically noted as a "4 channel, left front, right front, left surround, right sound" mix. "This recording does not use a center or LFE (.1) channel." Vivino Brothers, "Blues Band" (recorded April 2000); disc ancestry is "live to DSD" (hybrid SACD), stereo and multi-channel. Mastered by Bob Ludwig of Gateway Mastering and Tom Jung. Once again, the multi-channel is a 4-channel array as listed immediately above. I haven't had a chance to listen to these yet...will comment on them by the weekend. david
