I very much agree with Gonzostick's review just posted -- it's fantastic. But out of curiosity, was this only released in SACD as 2 discs (in a 2fer case)? It's weird, as there's plenty of room for one disc, the RBCD is a single after all, and many SACD hybrids are longer. The review keeps mentioning 'disc' so I wonder.
Several early DGs are like that, for instance the Prokofiev and Rachmaninov 3rds with Pletnev, where total playing time for the two discs is about 71 minutes. I assume this reflected some kind of reluctance to come too close to the theoretical capacity of the discs, which, based on some BIS recordings, I believe must be between 82 and 83 minutes if care is exercised.
