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).

Diese Aufnahme gibt Gelegenheit, sich mit dem Werk William Byrds anlässlich seines vierhundertsten Todesjahrs vertraut zu machen. Diese Schlüsselfigur der englischen Renaissance war eine schillernde Persönlichkeit: Katholik frei von Zweifeln, zugleich einer der Lieblinge der protestantischen Königin, ein ernsthafter, eher schwermütiger Charakter, zugleich voll scharfen Humors, der sehr persönliche, anrührende Musik schrieb. Höhepunkt der Einspielung ist sicher „Ye sacred Muses“, ein Tribut an Thomas Tallis, Byrds Lehrer, Kollege und Freund.
