Rimsky-Korsakov: Shéhérazade – Noseda (Version #2) (cat. no. SACD193) features Gianandrea Noseda conducting the Filarmonica Teatro Regio Torino. This is the exact same same orchestra, same conductor, same interpretation and same location as the originally released version.
The difference is that in the previous version (SACD148) the DSD recording has been made with three couples of valve microphones, all ancient and original Neumann U47, U48 and M49. This special edition is an Analog Recording that has been made with only two microphones Neumann U47, capturing more acoustics of the

I acquired the original version 1 of this album (a 3 microphone Analog Recording) from Fone on an SACD and ripped it to my hard drive several years ago. I was very disappointed with the sound. It was compressed with a narrow soundstage, and I never listened to it again.
But I decided to try version 2 (a 2 microphone Analog Recording) as a DSD Download from NativeDSD. Wow what difference. Broad soundstage, much more detail, altogether a far more enjoyable experience. This once again proves that it’s not all about an SACD vs a DSD Download and sample rates in my view. Recording technique first and foremost matters.
