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.

Symphonies Nos. 1 & 4 are poles apart in their musical style and make a highly interesting pairing for this new release. Symphony No.1 is rooted in the symphonic tradition and has a particular tunefulness reminiscent of Tchaikovsky, whereas Symphony No.4 is highly original and introverted, often being seen as modern and 'cubist' by listeners in the 1890s.

In its valedictory release, the world-renowned Tokyo String Quartet presents a pair of well loved chamber works offering a glimpse into the private world of two Czech composers. Antonin Dvorak and Bedrich Smetana - although they were sometimes regarded as musical opposites in their homeland - together they came to represent the quintessential sound of 19th-century Czech music.
