Maglorfin 196 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Received my copy of Live Edition today. I have the Blu-ray/CD combo and last year's regular digipak CD but I still love this one since it helps me in reliving that unforgettable day - no need to turn on the TV and the blu-ray player, I just put my headphones on, be it home or on the go, and listen to this baby Surely this has been discussed before but I can't find where and when exactly - does anyone know if they took most of these CDs (and Blu-ray) performances from Saturday's or from Sunday's concert? (I was there on Saturday only.) Probably they also combined both where it was feasible and we all know that some endings of individual pieces were being recorded in the hall after the audience had departed but I still wonder whether there's any "official" - reliable information about that?

There is no confirmation, but the music is from sunday. Only two speeches from Johnny are from saturday. No idea if they patched some flubs with the saturday performance or if they also rerecorded these parts. Maglorfin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saturday performance should have a SW main title without the sync issue. Perhaps the two takes were not compatible for merging, and I suppose they didn't want to go with only the Saturday take because there the beginning had some applause, IIRC?

Die von Universal Japan angebotenen Discs sind zusätzlich MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) codiert. John Williams in Vienna - Sieveking Sound (sieveking-sound.de) So this edition has both UHQCD and MQA. Will the UHQCD format play on normal players? I think MQA does require a specific DAC or supporting player. Anyways I suppose the UHQCD has a better resolution so can you feel the difference between this and regular playback? Also since it's Japanese release I saw another format for some of the Boston Pop recordings of another format called SHM CD. Anyone know what that is?

BB-8 3,478 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 UHQCD play on normal CD-players. SHM-CD = Super High Material Compact Disc; invented by Universal Music Japan using superior materials to manufacture CDs. I can't really tell the difference between UHQCD and SHM-CD. There are also SHM-SACD around. Amer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to make matters more fun, my recent Intrada order is coming from San Francisco via London Heathrow for the first time (or at least it's the first time that a stopover shows up on tracking). It took 11 days from Intrada to Heathrow, where it left on the 14th, and nothing since. The Austrian Post only has electronic shipping info so far, but apparently, recent parcels often arrive without ever actively getting tracked after London.
