I recently joined the club and purchased SACD and some software.Obviously like many of you I am very satisfied with those good recording especially those samplers.
I then moved to the classical. I bought the Bernstein Dvorak New World Symphony. It was recorded exactly 40 years ago. I would not call it enjoyable because the source has deteriated so bad that it will be a waste of time to process this source. The musical performance I would say is surely first class. I hope they will try their best to preserve such a valuable recordings and may be the best way to do it is to roll out the SACD version as fast as they can. This is just my narrow view point.
I hope I can have those Karajan, Horowitz... so famous but no longer available artist of the century to have their SACD released. Again, my wish.
