NEW! The first SACD from Reference Recordings.

We have just issued our all-time favorite, "TUTTI" in a dazzling hybrid SACD version (RR-906 SACD). This is an imported pressing, with striking silver metallic packaging. It was made at Sony Japan in cooperation with Naxos International Far East. "TUTTI!" is RR's most popular title in Asia! Unusually for an SACD, the CD layer is encoded with HDCD. We hope to have more SACD titles in the near future. NOW AVAILABLE! Only $22.98 (note: This is planned to be the price for all upcoming RR SACDs until further notice. We are unable to offer a special "sampler" price for RR-906SACD due to our production arrangement with Naxos.)
NOTE: The cover of the Box Slipcase is a shiny metallic.

Audiophile Audition - Best Of The Year Discs for 2008 - complete list

REVIEW: "I don't see how they could have come up with a more exciting and interesting classical sampler... A quick A/B comparison with the CD layer of this hybrid disc shows again the sometimes subtle but often shockingly major enhancement that the higher-res format provides..." --John Sunier, Audiophile Audition - complete review
