  Loved "Caverna Magica" when it came out - it was a bit of a staple at many hifi shows back in the early '80s, so got a bit sick of it at the time.

  Are you saying there is a Vollenweider SACD on Vox?

    Caverna Magica is truly a demonstration disc, but ineterstingly, with the new remasters, you can hear tape hiss midway through the album; it is like rain on the quiet passages, and even during the loudest can be heard faintly. It is being redone live. I actually like the remaster in the trilogy better than the new 24 bit remaster.

  • I see your "Oz" system has an LP12 have you tried Vollenweider on LP? - Teresa 04:03:42 04/09/07 (1)

    Sonically they are superb, and I really like the music.

    Here are the ones I have:

    Title / Artist / Label and Number / Format / Purchase Price
    BEHIND THE GARDENS - BEHIND THE WALL - UNDER THE TREE … Andreas Vollenweider - CBS Records FM 37793 LP $1.00
    CAVERNA MAGICA (…UNDER THE TREE - IN THE CAVE…) Andreas Vollenweider - CBS Records FM 37827 LP $1.99
    DANCING WITH THE LION Andreas Vollenweider - Columbia OC 45154 LP $1.69
    DOWN TO THE MOON Andreas Vollenweider - CBS Records FM 42255 LP $1.99
    WHITE WINDS Andreas Vollenweider - CBS Records FM 39963 LP $0.67

    As you can see my 5 LP Andreas Vollenweider collection set me back a total of $7.34 and they were all purchased in like new condition with perfect covers from thrift stores.

    I can't imagine the SACD versions sounding much better, but considering how well these recordings sound and the fact that they are on Columbia records I am shocked Sony never released them on SACD!

    I will say one thing his electric harp is enchanting and the musicians he chooses to play with him are superb.

      As I mentioned, I first heard "Caverna Magica" at a hifi show in the '80s and bought it - played it on the Linn. Quite a delightful album, and useful to compare what I heard at home with what I was hearing at the shows. I then bought "White Winds", and I thought that one was nicer, less gimicky.

      Over here in the US I bought "Behind the Gardens" on CD, though I don't think that much of it. I also bought "Caverna Magica" but it doesn't have the spacious open soundstage of the LP.

      Have not heard the other two. You certainly did well at the prices you paid!
