On a related note...

Several postings on the mailing list of the Association of Recorded
Sound Archives have addressed the relative merits of the SACD...one
series of postings raised the question as to whether or not the "Living
Stereo" recordings were a faithful representation of the sound of an
orchestra in concert.  Of course there are plenty of discussions having
to do with the "art" of recording, but do some of you find that some
labels/engineers capture a more realistic sound than others or is that
important?
