This review is from: Mahler 9 [Hybrid SACD] (Audio CD)
why hasn't an orchestra been able to do this before? with so many other Mahler 9ths out there, it is amazing that none are this calibar. i think all other recordings pale in comparison. the Royal Concertgebouw always plays well, but here they seem to step it up a notch. i have yet to hear another recording of this symphony with as much emotion as this one. buy this disc. and for some strange reason the SACD is cheaper than the regular CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fiiting farewell, July 16, 2007
This review is from: Mahler 9 [Hybrid SACD] (Audio CD)
A fine performance to bring to an end his tenure as principal conductor of The Concergebouw Orchestra.Chailly's understanding of Mahler is both profound and deep and although this may not compare with his 3rd or 5th Symphonies of the same cycle it still remains a saisfying performance.The recording is outstanding,especially in the SA multichannel mode.I would recommend the entire cycle by this fine conductor.

2.0 out of 5 stars This is no SACD sound., June 26, 2006
By 
John Nemaric - PhD - AGO (Pittsburgh - Pennsylvania - USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mahler 9 [Hybrid SACD] (Audio CD)
Although the performance of this composition by Gustav Mahler is a very personal interpretation by Riccardo Chailly and absolutely comendable and very beautiful, it has a great problem as it refers to the sound. The original box states the set being an SACD product with 5.1 performance. Upon listening this work in my dedicated SACD player (Pioneer 578) and searching for performance details I found out that it says it is an "Audio3/2.1 channel" signal which would make it a surround product. In reality the only thing I hear after exhaustive checks is only a predominant stereo sounds on the Right and Left speakers. An absolutely inconsequential (tremendous low level) sound in the two rear speakers and nothing in the Center and/or Subwoofer speakers (no signal at all here according to my VU meters). So, all in all this is a repackaged stereo version under the rubric SACD. Definitely is not 5.1 surround sound. I checked many times just to be sure of my analysis with two reference SACDs I have for these ocassions, namely Sony SS 87893 and Mercury 475 6182. Again, this is not an SACD complaint product. Buyer beware.
