This is a Telarc Soundstream and although the sound is good it still sounds a bit compressed and sometimes strident to me, particularly the strings as is the case with most RBCD's.

The Cleveland Orchestra under Lorin Maazel made all too few recordings for Telarc, a Cleveland based company which offered sonics far superior to the orchestra's other American label, CBS. The repertoire tended toward orchestral showpieces, doubtless intended to show off the then-new digital recording technology. Perhaps because Maazel never recorded a complete symphony cycle, this performance of Shostakovich's 5th symphony is not listed in music guides as a "reference" recording for the work. I initially heard this recording of The Rite of Spring on an LP. The dynamics were not compressed and some of the louder passages literally bounced the needle out of the groove. Maazel doesn't tamper with the orchestration here, but his tempos are all over the map, with rubatos and ritardandos liberally applied (which is poles apart from Stravinsky's intentions).

Downsampling to 4. wasn’t perfect with the technology of that time, and now with the . million sampling rate of DSD, no downsampling at all needs to foul up the transfer to SACD.
