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).

Im Januar 2016 wurde die weltberühmte Harrison & Harrison Orgel der King’s College Chapel komplett abgebaut und umfangreichen Restaurierungen unterzogen. Bereits nach 9 Monaten konnte das Instrument an ihrem ursprünglichen Ort wieder zum Klingen gebracht werden, und Stephen Cleobury machte sich sogleich daran, das Ergebnis der Erneuerung auf SACD zu bringen. Zu hören sind Werke von Liszt, Reubke und Mendelssohn.
