Steve writes of the Munch Berlioz Requiem: >Which one? He recorded it twice: once for RCA, once for DG. The >DG (Munch's later recording) is fine, but pales (as does every other >recording) to Munch's first effort. The RCA is hands-down my favorite >performance of that work. Everything it should be -- wild, wooly, and >with the scent of limelight and greasepaint. Terrific. Great news. It's the RCA. Those of us into SACD are very lucky that BMG is going thru the vaults and re-mastering many of the legendary RCA Living Stereo recordings of the '50's and '60's. Each SACD contains material from *two* original Lp's, and--of course--will play on a regular CD player, (don't see the point of this), and 2 channel SACD stereo with an SACD player hooked up, or 3 channel SACD, (as many were recorded), on a multi-channel system, with the SACD player set to multi-channel. These SACDs are also selling from $7.99 to $12.99. They're absolute magic, even on my $200 SACD player, and *unquestionably* more seductive, liquid, and warm than regular CD, even regular CD on a $3000 CD player. John Smyth Sac, CA
