New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

While "must have" is a subjective call...

Here are some that float my boat:

Classical Native DSD:

Tchaikovsky Suite No. 3/Stravinsky Divertimento, Jurowski cond., Pentatone Classics 5186 061

Stravinsky L'Histoire du soldat/Ragtime/Concerto in Eb/etc., P. Jarvi cond., Pentatone Classics 5186 046

(The two best sonic examples I've heard of DSD-mastered classical SACD's)

Classical Analog Reissues:

Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue/Concerto in F/I Got Rhythm Variations, Fiedler cond., Wild, p., RCA Living Stereo 82876-61393-2

Brahms Symphony No. 4, Walter cond., Sony Classical (Columbia) SS 6113

Bernstein Conducts Bernstein (particularly "On the Waterfront" Suite), Bernstein cond., Sony Classical SS 89043

Suppe Overtures/Auber, Paray cond., Mercury Living Presence 470 638-2

Bartok, Concerto for Orchestra, etc., Reiner cond., RCA Living Stereo 82876-61390-2

Jazz Analog Reissue:

Thelonious Monk, 5 by Monk by 5, Analogue Productions CAPJ 1150 SA


While many RCA Living Stereo releases are high on my list, there are some to be wary of--a very bright-sounding Respighi by Reiner (coupled with Debussy), and unfortunately muffled readings of Debussy and Ibert coupled with the great-sounding Saint Saens Symphony No. 3 ("Organ").
