Die SACD verwendet eine höhere digitale Auflösung als die Audio-CD und bietet außerdem die Möglichkeit, Mehrkanalton (Raumklang) zu speichern. Um die Musik in High-End-Qualität genießen zu können, wird ein spezieller SACD-Player benötigt. Dank Hybrid-Funktion sind die meisten in unserem Shop mit "SACD" gekennzeichneten Produkte auch auf herkömmlichen CD-Playern abspielbar. Dann allerdings unterscheidet sich der Sound nicht von einer normalen CD. Bei Abweichungen weisen wir gesondert darauf hin (Non-Hybrid).

Disk 1 von 3 (SACD)
Omar Khayyám (für 3 Solostimmen, gemischten Chor und Orchester)
- 1 Prelude (1. Teil)
- 2 Wake! For the sun, who scatteres into flight
- 3 Before the phantom of false morning died
- 4 And as the cock crew, those who stood before
- 5 Now the new year reviving old desires
- 6 Iram indeed is gone with all his rose
- 7 Whether at Naishápúr or Babylon
- 8 Each morn a thousand roses brings, you say
- 9 With me along the strip of herbage strown
- 10 Some for the glories of this world; and some
- 11 Look to the blowing Rose about us
- 12 Think, in this battered caravanserei
- 13 I sometimes think that never blows so red
- 14 Ah, my Beloved, fill the cup that clears
- 15 Ah, make the most of what we yet may spend
- 16 Alike for those who for To-day prepare
- 17 Myself when young did eagerly frequent
- 18 What, without asking, hither hurried Whence?
- 19 Up from earth's centre through the seventh gate
- 20 Earth could not aswer; nor the seas that mourn
- 21 Then of the Thee In Me who works behind
- 22 Then to the lip of this poor earthern urn
- 23 I think the vessel, that with fugitive
Disk 2 von 3 (SACD)
- 1 As then the tulip for her morning sup
- 2 So when that angel of the darker drink
- 3 Tis but a tent where takes his one day's rest
- 4 When you an I behind the veil are past
- 5 The desert -
- 6 The caravan -
- 7 A moment's halt - a monumentary taste -
- 8 Would you that spangle of existence spend
- 9 A moment guessed - then back behind the fold
- 10 Waste not your hour, nor in the vain pursuit
- 11 Better be jocund with the fruitful grape
- 12 You know, my friends, with what a brave carouse (2. Teil)
- 13 Ah, but my computations, people say
- 14 And 'twas - the Grape!
- 15 The Grape that can with logic absolute
- 16 The mighty Mahmúd, Allah-breathing Lord
- 17 Why, be this Juice the growth of God, who dare
- 18 I must abjure the balm of life, I must
- 19 The revelations of devout and learn'd
- 20 We are no other than a moving row
- 21 The moving finger writes; and, having writ
- 22 And that invertes bowl we call the sky
- 23 With earth's first clay they did the las man knead
- 24 I tell you this - When, started from the goal
- 25 What! out of senseless nothing to provoke
- 26 Oh thou, who didst with pitfall and with gin
- 27 Oh thou, who man of base earth didst make
Disk 3 von 3 (SACD)
- 1 The fast of Ramazán (3. Teil)
- 2 Worshipper in the Mosque
- 3 As under cover of departing day
- 4 Shapes of all sorts and sizes, great and small
- 5 Said one among them - Surely not in vain
- 6 So while the vessels one by one were speaking
- 7 Ah, with the grape my fasing life provide
- 8 Indeed the idol I have loved so long
- 9 And much as wine has play'd the infide!
- 10 Yet ah, that spring should vanish with the rose
- 11 Would but the desert of the fountain yield
- 12 Yon rising moon that looks for us again
- 13 And when like her, oh Sáki, you shall pass
