i wonder what year this performance comes from, is it live, is it multichannel, and what kind of resolution it was originally recorded in?

It looks like they were performing it last fall.

haenssler give a publication date of 21.05.2007 on their website.

but i can't find any info on whether it's stereo or multichannel.

I believe it will be a stereo/MCH release.

is that an expression of faith or a statement of certitude? (either way i hope you're right!).

A bit of both! I'm fairly sure from earlier conversations with Hänssler that they are only going to release SACD's in stereo/MCH hybrid's - there is always the possibility that my memory proves fallible though.

thanks PN - let's keep our fingers crossed....

Right, now I've got it in my hands I can confirm that it is a MCH/Stereo hybrid release, recorded live (but no applause); no details about the recording type (i.e. DSD) explicitly but they did use a Sonopress to master this release.

Initial impressions are that the sound is spectacular (just as this music deserves) in a natural way; the reading may be a little relaxed for all tastes.

A review is to follow...

great - look forward to reading it!

Well, after listening to this set through a couple of times illustrates the dangers of just flitting about for favourite highlights. As a whole it is a very warm and convincing reading with a few minor blemishes (not entirely unexpected for this gargantuan score!) Hänssler look to have given us yet another mighty choral epic.

The sound is unquestionably first rate - it quite supersedes anything you'll have heard on any other medium.

I am having trouble taking this one out of the player (but I must because my family needs the sleep!)
