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).

Das Oratorium ›The Dream of Gerontius‹ ist zwar das bekannteste symphonische Chorwerk von Edward Elgar, aber natürlich bei weitem nicht das einzige. Elgar-Experte Sir Andrew Davis macht hier mit zwei in Deutschland zwar eher unbekannten, in England aber sehr populären frühen Chorwerken des Komponisten bekannt, die beide maßgeblich zur Reputation Elgars als führendem Komponisten Englands beitrugen.
