Hubert Parry: Scenes from Shelley's "Prometheus Unbound" on Super Audio CD
Scenes from Shelley's "Prometheus Unbound"
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).

Geheimtipp
