Only SACD's capture the original master tape sound,
By
This review is from: Getz Gilberto (Audio CD)
I'm sorry, friends, after twenty years of listening, buying hundreds of CD's and an improved stereo I now know CD's don't have enough bits. They don't capture all the sound that was in the original vinyl recordings. 44k and 2 to the 14th power was NOT enough samples (bits). Like looking at an old newspaper picture made out of large dots, it's not like a photo. Like a primitive digital print without enough pixels. Poor resolution.
With 4 times as many time slices (increments) in the x direction and 2 to the 8th power, 256 more bits (increments) in the Y direction, this SACD is the only format which really captures the sound of the original LP or master tape. You cannot hear the difference between this and the LP. It's the real thing. If you thought CD's sound harsh, or bass-thin, not like a concert, well, you were right! Beyond that, this album is the second best selling Jazz album of all time, behind Miles Davis "Kind of Blue". A timeless classic of the early sixties. "The Girl From Ipanema" was in the top ten songs on the Rock, Pop and Jazz Billboard charts for over a year in the '63-'64 time frame. Yeah it's really that good! Hear Stan the Man effortlessly pour out his soul in the bridge of "Corcovado", for example. As a personal note, this was the first Jazz LP I ever bought, as a clarinet and sax player myself, I couldn't believe how good Stan Getz tone was. And I still love it.

This review is from: Getz Gilberto (Audio CD)
It's hard to beat the gritty-rich presence in the quality of these early pop & jazz 4 track recordings. This is a wonderfully high quality quality recording available in the wonderful format of SACD. Even though it is stereo mix only, I love play this SACD version of this album.

Great SACD recording!,
By C Hull (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Getz Gilberto (Audio CD)
The content speaks for itself, a must have, but it is the SACD recording that takes it over the top!
I have a decent collection of SACD's and DVD-A's, and I put this in the top of the list.
