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).

Release date:: 28.3.2003

The first surround-sound version of Grieg's justly popular Symphonic Dances. This highly atmospheric music, which so easily removes the listener to the lonely beauty of the Norwegian fjords, gains especially from the striking realism of a musically balanced surround-sound recording. Further enticement is added by the inclusion of both the Norwegian Dances and the Lyric Suite on this disc. The performances are by Grieg's "own" orchestra, the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra. (Grieg actually came from Bergen and, after many years abroad, he made this second city of Norway his home and bequeathed a large sum of money to the musical life of the city.) The conductor is Ole Kristian Ruud - Norwegian maestro with an international reputation, partly earned through his much-acclaimed recordings of the music by Geirr Tveitt, also on BIS.

Reviews

J. Hillebrand in FonoForum 11/03: "Das Orchester aus Griegs Heimatstadt hat sich mit der hoch auflösenden Fünfkanalaufnahme einer großen Herausforderung gestellt. Und es schlägt sich mehr als beachtlich. Wie elektrisiert wirken die ruhenden Streicherklänge, kraftvoll, aber nie massiv, sondern stets in sich differenziert die Tutti- Höhepunkte mit ihren Bläserhymnen."
