Super Audio CD
SACD (Super Audio CD)
The SACD uses a higher digital resolution than the audio CD and also offers the possibility to store multi-channel sound (surround sound). To enjoy the music in high-end quality, a special SACD player is required. Thanks to the hybrid function, most of the products marked "SACD" in our store can also be played on conventional CD players. In this case, however, the sound does not differ from that of a normal CD. In case of deviations, we point this out separately (non-hybrid).

Marimba Sculpture ist die Weiterführung der audite-Serie mit Katarzyna Mycka als Solistin an der Marimba - diesmal unterstützt von Franz Bach und Eckhard M. Stromer. Bei den eingespielten Werken handelt es sich ausschließlich um Originalkompositionen und nicht um Bearbeitungen, was die vorliegende SACD zu einer interessanten Sammlung von Kompositionen für Marimba macht. Die Stücke sind teilweise für die Solistin geschrieben bzw. durch ihr Spiel angeregt worden. Die Werke zeigen das Instrument in seiner ganzen Ausdrucksstärke: seine beeindruckende dynamische Vielfalt, die Bandbreite des Klangspektrums vom perkussiven Charakter bis hin zum flächigen Klangteppich und die virtuosen Möglichkeiten der Marimba. Dies alles verbindet sich zu einer Musik, die durch ihren Abwechslungsreichtum und ihre eingängige Melodik besticht. Die Aufnahme entpuppt sich durch die beruhigende, manchmal fast meditative Wirkung der Musik und des Marimbaklangs sofort als für jedermann zugänglich, auch wenn sie auf den ersten Blick eher etwas für Marimba-Spezialisten zu sein scheint. Der Surroundsound der SACD-Aufnahme verstärkt positiv den Eindruck von Weite und Tiefe der Klänge. Die räumliche Dimension der Surround-Aufnahme ermöglicht dabei eine differenzierte Abbildung der Aufstellung von bis zu drei Marimbas innerhalb des Aufnahmeraums.
Marimba Sculpture is the continuation of the audite series with Katarzyna Mycka as marimba soloist - this time supported by Franz Bach and Eckhard M. Stromer. The works recorded here are exclusively original compositions, not adaptations, which makes this SACD an interesting collection of compositions for the marimba. Some of the pieces were written especially for the soloist by composers inspired by her playing. The works reveal the instrument in all its expressive power: its impressive dynamic variety, the range of its sound spectrum from percussive character to a flat carpet of sound, as well as the virtuoso possibilities of the marimba. All these factors combine to form music that fascinates the listener with its variety and catching melodies. The recording is immediately approachable for everyone, even if it seems at first glance to be for marimba specialists. The calming, almost meditative effect of the music and the marimba sound make it so appealing. The Surroundsound of the SACD recording positively strengthens the effect of sonic breadth and depth. The spatial dimension of the Surround recording thus enables a differentiated reproduction to be made of the arrangement of as many as three marimbas in the recording studio.
Gespielt wird mit viel Virtuosität, aber auch mit Raffinement, nuancen- und farbenreich. (Pizzicato)
