I bought it as a stereo hi-res download. I would imagine that the title track, especially the parts with earth sounds recorded from outer space, would sound pretty cool in surround.
Now playing the following SACD from my Beethoven collection, enjoying the SACD sound on my thirty-plus year old stereo system ...
I bought it as a download too. eclassical includes surround with hires and every week or two, they offer a new release promotion, hires for the price of CD quality. Currently, they're offering Mahler and Debussy.
scompton, I am grateful to you for spotting this for me. What I had been doing was checking over at Amazon U.K. so much that I completely forgot to check and see our domestic U.S. Amazon to see if this was around. I've gotten so used to picking certain things up at Amazon U.K. that I've almost trained myself to overlook some things at Amazon at the inopportune times. This is what I get for wading into Classical in the way I have. Thanks once again. It's appreciated.
Ahh...I bought mine from ProStudioMasters--it was on sale. I can play multi-channel files and discs, but I have to use my Oppo Blu-ray player, which has an inferior DAC compared to my Esoteric K03.
Now listening to "Philippe Le Chancelier - School of Notre Dame" performed by Sequentia from the "Sequentia Edition" box set on DHM.
Now listening to "Adam De La Halle - Le Jeu de Robin et de Marion" performed by Tonus Peregrinus on Naxos. They're trying a different sort of 'format' for this recording, interspersing spoken words supposedly taking place in a 13th century tavern with the music. It's actually the text spoken in both French and English. I give them credit for trying something new but I'd rather just have the music.
Now listening to "Le Champion des Dames" performed by Continens Paradisi on Ricercar. Music of Binchois and Dufay. Spoken Poetry of Martin Le Franc.
First listen to CD 6 from "John Dowland - The Collected Works" performed by The Consort Of Musicke led by Anthony Rooley on L'Oiseau-Lyre. Mr. Henry Noell Lamentations 1597 Lachrimae 1604
This CD box is one of those "one listen and forget" boxes. It is not easy to get into the right mood for it ...
