Wow that would be amazing.Watching Michael Fremer's recent interview conducted in UMG's IRON MOUNTAIN underground vaults, I was struck when he came across some ANGEL Records and casually exclaimed that Capitol/EMI was incapable of releasing decent LP pressings during that period when Angel released literally hundreds of 'poorly pressed' SQ encoded vinyl. I thought it was my rinky dink turntable of that period when each Angel SQ LP I placed on it was rife with horrible ticks and pops making the disc almost unplayable. And after returning dozens of them to my local record store for 'replacements' I was only met with MORE of the SAME. And Fremer did admit .... the recordings themselves were sonically stunning ...it's the poor replication on vinyl that was suspect.
Now that WARNER owns the EMI/Angel Classical label and is NOW embarking on releasing their Rock/Pop/Jazz QUAD catalogue on Pure Audio BD~A in 192/24 resolution, am wishing and hoping that Warner's classical division will eventually do the same for its abundant and exquisite ANGEL SQ back catalogue.
Quadraphonic Discography "Classical Recordings - Complete List" [look under ANGEL]
A little hard to find these days, but worth seeking out.I purchased the Complete Organ Works of J.S. Bach that were analog recordings from France (I think) but were sold in FLAC. I wish I played an instrument (I begged my parents for piano lessons and they said no because we didn’t have room for a piano in our tiny house….and getting one into the basement…well I was game but not the parental units). I started listening to Bach organ works in high school and originally bought the Complete Works on LP (18 records for $20.00 in 1971 at a bookstore in Milwaukee). The set I bought on FLAC has like 378 tracks….it is awesome!
One of the handful of 5.1s on Qobuz Oeuvres pour orgue (Édition 5.1) (Johann Sebastian Bach), Various Interprets by Johann Sebastian Bach - QobuzA little hard to find these days, but worth seeking out.
Wow, $25 for the whole thing in surround seems like a great deal, especially considering it's OOP on disc.One of the handful of 5.1s on Qobuz Oeuvres pour orgue (Édition 5.1) (Johann Sebastian Bach), Various Interprets by Johann Sebastian Bach - Qobuz
Nice! Not sure if it was a Silberman, but I led a team doing an English Bible Camp in Poland and heard some wonderful Bach on the organ at The Savior’s Church in Jelena Gora. Tears flowed profusely at the beauty.A little hard to find these days, but worth seeking out.
A few new releases: the BMOP/sound label manager confirmed to me that the new recording of Anthony Davis's X: The Life of Times of Malcolm X, will indeed be released on hybrid multi-channel SACD:

AFAIK, Rusty, Bernstein's MASS has long been a topic on the forum and hopefully at some point Dutton Vocalion can gain access to the QUAD analogue Masters and release it as a 2 disc QUAD SACD!I'm new to this thread and hope someone can comment. A long time ago...I purchased the Quad SQ LP of Leonard Bernstein's Mass. I also got to see a production at the Kennedy Center which used Quad in the theatre. I'm not finding any new formats for this work and hope Dutton/Vocalion will remedy this (hint-hint). If someone on this forum has a multichannel digital rip of the LP, please let me know. I have the stereo CD, but would love to hear it again in Quad.

But then I stumbled on this and because the price was right, I ordered it right away. Have you heard it? What do you think?

Also, am I correct in finding classical work omitted from the polls, or is there not enough interest for voting?
Wow: you saw Mass at the Kennedy Center! (Just last year, or earlier? And they had a quad sound system? Amazing!)I'm new to this thread and hope someone can comment.

HumProf, I found the Kristjan Järvi release and checking Discogs confirms that it is multichannel. I picked this up for a very nice price. Now I'll have two surround experiences and will be able to compare notes with you.Wow: you saw Mass at the Kennedy Center! (Just last year, or earlier? And they had a quad sound system? Amazing!)
I'll add my voice to 4EW's: it's many a QQ classical fan's fondest dream to see Dutton reissue this. Until then, I think Järvi's performance is better than Nagano's (and the surround mix is more exciting, too).
You surmise correctly: if there's no poll for a classical title, then there's probably no demand for it--but you could always ask a mod to start one. Sometimes, though, the poll for a given title just hasn't had enough votes to become visible, and it pays to do a Google Search ("quadraphonicquad" + artist, title, etc.).
