Ennio Morricone – The Mission (1986) [2003 Remaster] [SACD / Virgin – SACDV 2402]

adminMay 11, 2025 242 Views

Title: Ennio Morricone – The Mission (1986) [2003 Remaster]
Genre: Soundtrack
Format: SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

Ennio Morricone’s Academy Award-nominated score captures the conflict between 18th-century Jesuit missionaries trying to convert the native Indians, and the slavers who want to destroy them. In keeping with the serious subject matter and epic scope of Roland Joffé’s film, the score is by turns grave, lyrical, and tense. Ever inventive, Morricone mixes liturgical chorales, native drumming, and Spanish-influenced guitars, often in the very same track, to capture the drama of the culture clash. His trademark lyricism also comes through, notably in the beautiful themes for “Gabriel’s Oboe” and “The Mission.” Not as over-the-top as his well-known spaghetti Western scores, The Mission shows Morricone at his dramatic best.

(e.s.t.) Esbjorn Svensson Trio – Viaticum (2005) [SACD / ACT – ACTSACD 9801-2]

adminMay 11, 2025 309 Views

Title: (e.s.t.) Esbjorn Svensson Trio – Viaticum (2005)
Genre: Jazz
Format: MCH SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

Esbjörn Svensson’s trio (E.S.T.) blends acoustic and electric sounds, creating a distinctive, refined jazz style. Their stable lineup, with Svensson on piano, Dan Berglund on bass, and Magnus Öström on drums, ensures cohesive interplay. Subtle amplified keyboard shades enhance Svensson’s piano, setting E.S.T. apart from louder jazz combos. Viaticum showcases their meditative, surrealistic sound, rooted in a spiritual aesthetic. Tracks like “Tide of Trepidation” echo ECM’s mysterious style with electronic undertones. “In the Tail of Her Eye” conveys heartbreak, while “What Though the Way May Be Long” explores poetic destiny. “The Unstable Table & the Infamous Fable” evokes cinematic tension, and “Eighty Eight Days in My Veins” drives with a 6/8 shuffle. “The Well Wisher” dances lightly in a tango-like style, reminiscent of Keith Jarrett. “A Picture of Doris Travelling with Boris” paints a haunting, nocturnal soundscape. Viaticum appeals to ECM fans, fantasy enthusiasts, and younger listeners, marking a progressive step for E.S.T.

Various Artists – 2L The Nordic Sound – Audiophile Reference Recordings (2009) [SACD / 2L-RR1-SABD]

adminMay 11, 2025 163 Views

Title: Various Artists – 2L The Nordic Sound – Audiophile Reference Recordings (2009)
Genre: Classical
Format: MCH SACD ISO

2L’s 2-disc set includes materials over which audiophiles could sit & argue for hours, if not longer. Each disc contains the same 19 musical selections taken from their growing, broad selection of recordings ranging from Mozart & Vivaldi to Schoenberg, Carter & beyond. The goal, presumably, is to make an argument for the superiority of surround sound not just for movies, but for music as well. Disc 1 is a hybrid SACD with 3 separate audio tracks: DSD Stereo, DSD 5.1 channel surround, & standard redbook. The 2nd disc is a Blu-ray disc again presenting 3 audio formats: 5.1 channel DTS-HD Master Audio, 5.1 channel 24bit Linear PCM, & 2ch 24bit Linear PCM. Two discs, 19 tracks, & 6 different audio formats to choose from; what’s an audiophile to do? There can be little question that 3 surround options, whether on Blu-ray or SACD, offer a far more pleasing listening experience; the level of detail & realism offered in these formats vastly exceeds the 2ch tracks. But even between the surround options, there are differences. There are some tracks, such as the excerpts from Britten’s “Simple” Symphony & Bartуk’s Sonata for Solo Violin, where the SACD surround track offers a much cleaner, more detailed accounting. However, the sense of truly being in the centre of a live performance of Islandmoen’s Requiem or Haydn’s Op. 76/5, String Quartet that is achieved on the Blu-ray with DTS-HD cannot be improved upon. The decision, then, comes down to the preference of individual listeners. Maybe even more than that, however, is the practicality of using Blu-ray as an audio-only format. Sure, there’s a sharp-looking menu that listeners can use to navigate the disc, but that still seems like a bit of a waste of Blu-ray’s vast storage capacity. DVD-A was a format that was even less popular/accepted than SACD, so it will be interesting to see if Blu-ray Audio catches on.

Otis Redding – Otis Blue (1965) [Analogue Productions 2016] [SACD / Analogue Productions – CAPP 095 SA]

adminMay 11, 2025 258 Views

Title: Otis Redding – Otis Blue (1965) [Analogue Productions 2016]
Genre: Soul, Funk
Format: SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

Otis Blue, Otis Redding’s third album, is his first fully realized work, showcasing his bold talent and clear musical direction. Half the album features Redding’s confident takes on diverse songs, including three by his idol Sam Cooke, who died in 1964. Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come” and “Shake” are soul masterpieces, while “Wonderful World” is a rare gem. Redding’s covers of “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” and “My Girl” highlight the Stax/Volt sound. His originals “Respect” and “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long” became iconic, with “Respect” later popularized by Aretha Franklin. A standout cover of B.B. King’s “Rock Me Baby” features Steve Cropper’s dynamic guitar and a strong horn section. Redding’s gritty, powerful vocals make Otis Blue rich and deeply moving. This album is an essential soul listening experience.
