Recommend some SACD's?


My Oppo plays SACD's and I'd like to own a few that sound outstanding, really demonstrate the potential of the format. Like classical, jazz, world, usually any kind of natural music. Not a fan of electronic. System is two channel. The Oppo can downmix a multichannel to two channel (I think).
Thanks!

If you like Diana Krall and/or Jane Monheit, all there stuff works well in SACD.

Remember that the Oppo will also play DVD-As (I had a 981HD before I upgraded to a Pioneer DV-58AV). I've used Acoustic Sounds for most of my purchases. You might browse there.

There a Chesky sampler with Rebecca Pidgeon, Livingston Taylor, Kenny Rankin and others that's very good. Many of the other samplers suck. Oh, the old Chicago Symphony stuff reissued on SACD is very good.

When I get home I'll try to remember to relook at my SACD/DVD-A collection to see what else jumps out at me.

The customer reviews on Acoustic Sounds are very helpful to me. Not all SACD mixes are great, so that'll help you avoid a clinker. Generally, I've been very pleased with my SACD and DVD-A purchases, finding them as pleasing as my best vinyl finds. (If I didn't already have over 1000 LPs I'd go totally digital).

I only own 2 at this point, Peter Gabriel's "Up" and Diana Krall's "The Girl in the Other Room". "Up" is pretty amazing, sonically.
