SUPER AUDIO CD (SACD)
This great SACD has been listened to one time on a very high end Martin Logan Electrostatic system. It is in like "NEW" condition. The CD Jewel case, the inserted pamphlet and the actual SACD are all in perfect, like-new condition.
I have seen this item become available once on eBay approximately four years ago. I have not seen one since, nor have I found any store or location where you can buy it. It's not one of a kind, but it is extremely limited print, rare, and today impossible to find. This is not for everyone as its expensive. With rarity and uniqueness comes high cost........but if you have the means, are a serious collector of rare high resolution music, or a fan of this particular symphony, you owe it to yourself to have this gem in your collection.
Please check my feedback and bid with confidence.
Thank you for looking, stay safe and best wishes.
"Anybody who is a serious listener of classical music must listen to this Gottschalk disc. Louis Moureau Gottschalk (1829-69) was the first truly "American" composer. I say this because his music is the first that truly tapped the language, utilizing Creole and Black music as part of the web he wove. His music is Whitmanesque, and even Ivesian at moments. All of it is delightful and some of it memorable. For example, the piano melody that floats above the orchestral garb of "C�l�bre Tarantelle" is still haunting my memory as I write this. The music here was arranged and orchestrated by others, some of who were the composer's friends, but it all sounds from the same cloth. It is truly "American". You will find the notes biographically interesting and even enchanting. The sound is excellent, too."
