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.

| 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. |
