Super Audio CD or SACD is the next generation of audio disc, offering full-range,
uncompressed multi-channel surround sound based on a new type of digital recording
technology called Direct Stream Digital (DSD), as well as superior-to-CD stereo.
As with the step up from mono to stereo, uncompressed surround sound represents
a quantum leap in your musical listening experience.
A Super Audio CD looks like a normal CD and almost all of the SACD titles
we supply contain a CD layer. These are called 'hybrid' discs. This allows you
to play the disc on any existing CD player (hi-fi, walkman, in-car system, etc.),
whilst being able to enjoy the superior SACD quality via a SACD player.

The String Quartet in F minor was first performed during the young composer’s visit to Berlin in 1890 and was admired by the most influential musical personalities of the time. |

| 'Benzin is a joke', said the Danish composer Knudage Riisager of the work he created for the Royal Danish Ballet in 1928 along with his friend, the popular cartoonist known as Storm P. A dubious joke, however, as the ballet was taken off the bill after just three performances. |

| Machaut's extraordinary Messe de Nostre Dame was not only the first complete mass setting in history, but also the first whose composer can be identified, making it emblematic of the Ars Nova style of the 14th century. In this recording, the Orlando Consort performs the mass in parallel with a work by Tarik O'Regan which was inspired by it. |

| As with so many of his compositions, Berlioz's flamboyount opera Benvenuto Cellini, inspired by the life of the Florentine goldsmith, proved almost impossible to cast or stage. Yet even even by Berlioz's standards it contains music of incredible inventiveness and beauty. |
