New DVD-Audio music releases and talk about the latest players.

Re: Thanks Chris for the Classical DVD-A reviews.

Here is the breakdown on the discs I referred to (as to whether they contain dedicated hi-rez 2.0 tracks):

Dvorak Symphonies 3 and 7 (Macal/CPO, Exton): Dedicated 2.0 hi-rez tracks available

Dvorak Symphonies 5 and 9 (Macal/CPO, Exton): Dedicated 2.0 hi-rez tracks available

Dvorak Symphony No. 9 (Neumann/CPO, Denon): 2.0 ONLY (no multichannel); also note that while the bit rate is 24, the sample rate is only CD-quality (44.1)

Wagner “Die Walküre” (Mehta/Bavarian, Farao): Dedicated 2.0 hi-rez tracks available

Bach “St. Matthew Passion) (Guttenberg, et al., Farao): Dedicated 2.0 hi-rez tracks available

Beethoven Symphonies (Abbado, Berlin Phil, DG): Dedicated 2.0 hi-rez tracks available

Beethoven Symphonies 5 and 7 (Kleiber/VPO, DG): Dedicated 2.0 hi-rez tracks available

Beethoven/Respighi (Macal/New Jersey, AIX): Dedicated 2.0 hi-rez tracks available; the multi-channel and two-channel hi-rez programs are on opposite sides of the disc (lots of bonus material on this disc!)

Mahler Symphony No. 2 (Chailly/Concertgebouw): Dedicated 2.0 hi-rez tracks available

Mahler Symphony No. 8 (Chailly/Concertgebouw): Dedicated 2.0 hi-rez tracks available

Regarding the Warner (Teldec) releases (Barenboim Beethoven Symphonies, Harnoncourt New World Symphony, Aimard Messiaen Vingt Regards): info on the cases seems to indicate that “advanced resolution stereo (96 kHz / 24 bit)” is available, but I cannot navigate to these 2.0 sections!

Hope this helps!
