I think this version of Into the Woods might be the new mix.

I just cued up the first track on each of these. They are definitely discrete.

Sorry if my form is not correct, I listened to Sweeney Todd last night via headphone (wife asleep unfortunately) but it was the atmos mix and it was definitely an interesting listen. Each one also has some bonus material. For the record I listened on Tidal. I do think it's interesting that of these Company was the only one recorded in Quad or surround.

Into the woods is an original quad also. Dutton Vocalion released it on sacd along with company a few years ago.

Thanks, Ralph! I LOVE Company and was really jonesing to hear Into the Woods . . . and Sweeney Todd. I may have to start streaming and get that Atmos thing about which people keep raving!

I did 'behold' the original cast of Sweeny Todd on the Great White Way with a superb Angela Lansbury and Len Cariou and have been waiting for YEARS for it to have a proper Surround release.

Agree ... the D~V QUAD SACD of Company is BREATHTAKING...as is Chorus Line!

wOw! My daughter is also a HUGE Angela Lansbury fan! She adores the Original Cast Recording of Sweeney Todd (and the Original Broadway Cast recording of Mame).

Since the Original Cast Recording of Sweeny Todd was released in 1979, doubtful it ever had a QUADRAPHONIC remix. Wonder if 'magician' Michael J. Dutton could access the original master analogue tapes and work his MAGIC?

Do it, @Clement! Btw: I saw a really good production of Into the Woods at the Guthrie in Minneapolis a few weeks ago. Tonight at 7pm is the final performance!

I LOVE the Guthrie! I'm heading north in September to see The Importance of Being Earnest! I'm a BIG Sally Wingert fan; she's going to slay as Lady Bracknell!

Can't wait to see what the next offerings are from the Wizard!

According to steelydave, Michael J has some A List QUAD SACDs coming. They're still on vacation until August 15th so hopefully when they return they'll be gearing up for a September 2023 'windfall!'

My apologies, I meant A Little Night Music is on DV. Confusing my pastoral Sondheim musicals. Surprising Night Music isn’t in this collection as it was also a quad original.

Yes! That one also sounds great. I really enjoy it. Bring on ever more Sondheim!

Have to say these sound fantastic... I'm only half way through listening, via the 360RA versions. Assassins and Into The Woods so far. They are very cleverly mixed, with loads of stuff in the height channels. They actually put the occasional narration up there, it's quite a clever effect. I see Ronald Prent was mentioned as a mixing engineer - so presuming he might have had control of the wheel with regards to the surround mix? It really is rather good!
