Re: Anyone check out the Don Giovanni on DG with Abbado on SACD?

I bought this simply because I wanted Don Giovanni on SACD. I didn’t have high expectations because it’s from a 44.1/24 PCM master and the performance itself hasn’t gotten great reviews. I, too, found it to be much better than I hoped for. The SACD layer is clearly more nuanced and dynamic than the CD layer. Evidently 24-bit does count for something. Yes, there are sections that aren’t as transparent as recordings with a higher PCM sampling rate or from DSD or analog sources. And yes, there are other performances that are better. But I found this performance quite enjoyable, especially the first act.
