The originals are recordings from the mid 50's through mid 60's. To those of us 'of a certain age' they have been around seemingly forever and many have even been revered since their first release. There is a certain 'lilt' to these that really isn't achieved elsewhere. Kunzel and the Rochester Pops come close while Abravanel and the Utah forces dutifully play all the notes. The CD transfer is up to it's usual high standards (higher than some of the standards for the presssings on the originals); but it's the 3 channel SACD that is really impressive. If you have the capability, I highly recommend most any of the Mercury Living Presence or RCA Living Stereo SACD's. This one in particular will have you dancing and feeling like the "Belle of the Ball"

I got this SACD on a whim as I was buying some other CD's and SACD's. I don't usually listen to this sort of music and was unfamiliar with it. Its very unique and also quite enjoyable to listen to. If you just like good music in general then you will probably like this CD. I listened to it in both SACD stereo and 3-channel.
