New DVD-Audio music releases and talk about the latest players.

Re: i was trying to be light-hearted, but now...

It's definitely a great time if you're a classical fan, no doubt. I'm not nearly as much a classical fan as I am a popular music and jazz fan. I also prefer more modern composers (i.e. Stravinsky, Hindemith, Barber, Poulenc) over earlier composers which once again makes for a smaller selection of titles within the realm of classical.

It is still predominately reissues of catalog titles instead of newly recorded material which can show the new formats in their best light. The Living Stereo reissues date back the better part of 50 years. For example the Saint Saens Symphony #3, dates back to December of 1956. There's nothing wrong with that, and certainly they are great recordings. In the end though, it's not the same result as current state of the art recordings.
