Free Music Review: SACD set, worth the price?
Hit: 3 Stars
.....maybe.
SACD layer sounds better than CD layer; more spatial information, tighter bass and sweeter strings.
You will experience more sonic improvements, if you own audiophile High-End stereo system.
This set is especially suitable for the people who avoided DG Karajan recordings because of overly bright tonal qualities(Karajan glare).
With this set, you can enjoy Karajan/Berlin PO with decent sound (you still hear thin lower-mid range and upper-mid range harshness
with screechy first violin though).
Is his interpretation of Beethoven's music as profound and convincing as Furtwangler's?
My suggestion to you:
If you want to listen to the best Beethoven cycle, do yourself a favor,
Obtain the 9 symphonies by Furtwangler.
