Diana Krall


Has anyone heard her SACD yet ? When the redbook CD first came out in Sept 01, many people said the recording/mastering wasn't up to the standard of her other recordings. I wonder whether the SACD version may be better.

The web site is www.elusivedisc.com ;I just pre-ordered it. I haven't noticed specifically what you mentioned, but it did seem to me that her voice broke up in a couple of tracks. I have not compared the two discs as closely as you have but I probably will now that you mention it. I was hoping that her SACD would have sounded better. I bought a couple of Fidelis hybrids discs from elusive disc (Tchaikovsky and Vivaldi/BACH/Kodal) that brought tears to my eyes; they were that good.
Thanks Czbbcl,

I did pre-order that CD. And it seems I was looking for
an Exclusive Disc..rather than the proper Elusive Disc!

I am not sure about Verve's plans for the older Diana Krall
releases..as far as SACD goes. I know her earlier releases
were on Impulse!, but that's part of the Verve group..so I
would think it could be done.

I am not sure what the sales figures are for those releases,
and if Verve feels there would be a profit potential in
re-releasing the older titles on SACD?

Best, Jim
