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.

In the midst of war and state-sponsored terror, one thing in Prokofiev's life retained its priceless value: friendship. It was for his good friend, Mstislav Rostropovich, that he composed the Sinfonia Concertante, op.125.

'Vibracones del Alma' is the second recital album from the vibrant young clarinettist Maximiliano Martín. Together with pianist Scott Mitchell he explores the diversity of European clarinet repertoire and presents a captivating selection of music from composers such as Yuste, McCabe and Romero.

This is Paavo Järvi’s first recording project with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony since he took up the chief-conductorship of this orchestra in 2006. This CD will be the first instalment of their complete Bruckner symphonic cycle, as well as their first symphonic recording to be internationally released.

This is the seventh disc in Mark Wigglesworth's complete cycle of Shostakovich's symphonies and the fourth to feature the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic. This partnership has gone from strength to strength, with their Symphony No.13 'Babi Yar' described as 'probably the most convincing to have appeared in the West' in International Record Review.

Ravel's artificial, indirect soundscape challenges the interpreter to extreme levels, demanding virtuosity, a sense of sound and sensitivity. The works recorded for this CD by the young French pianist Romain Descharmes present the quintessence of Ravel's oeuvre for piano.
