More than a year has passed since the last HK Universal Music SACD was released, the company has finally released another title....Tsai Chin in Concert Hong Kong 2007. For those unfamiliar with Tsai Chin, her music was featured prominently in the Hong Kong movie "The Infernal Affair", which was later remade by Hollywood as "The Departed". She's also an audiophile favorite, resulting in SACDs of her from companies such as HK EMI and HK Warner Music, plus a number of smaller audiophile labels.
This is only the second SACD release* by any of the major Hong Kong music companies in almost as many years (the previous SACD release by a "major" was a HK EMI Classics title earlier this year). I hope this is a sign that SACD will pick up steam amongst the major HK music companies once again.
* HK Universal Music released a promo-only SACD single last year, but hasn't officially release a SACD title since late 2005.
