Another Barber Tocatta Festiva SACD sighting

4.246.120.112

Posted by jdaniel on January 14, 2007 at 00:23:18

If you don't know this work, it's a real gem, as is most of Samuel Barber's music. I'm familiar with the version on Cedille CD, on Linn, (fabulous powerful organ sound but sluggish rhythms in the orchestra), and on Audite, (absolutely thrilling and tightly-sprung orchestral playing but underpowered organ.)

So, I see that Ondine and the Philly have an additional version coming out coupled with the Saint Saens Organ Symphony and the Poulenc Organ Concerto. I wonder if this performance gets all the bases covered. As a performance, the Cedille CD is still the best all around. Regarding Ondine SACDS: are they native DSD???
