New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

I had 2 Mercury re-issues

On the Firebird, the English horn kept coming from different locations, depending on the passage.
And the Webern Celeste sounded like it was in the room with me.

Both had a very close perspective, seemed to blow-up the size of the groups.
No recent recordings of Orchs are anywhere near that close.
The Mercury's didn't seem at all natural to me.
The LA Phil Rite on DG is Very distant, with obvious Spotlighting of Woodwinds.
That's not Natural either.

Maybe the Mercs sounded good as as LPs.
