They're currently sitting on a couple of Marco Polo recordings - I believe those were a large part in the composer's re-discovery. They do really need a reissue - so much of that catalogue does

Ah, I see. Yes, I remember seeing some Marco Polo recordings, I do hope the are reissued soon. I'll send a message to Naxos in request of this.

Hi Jeffrey - the original CD IEEE standards were published in a booklet w/ a red color cover (likely because the laser used on standard CDs is a red one vs. e.g. Blu-ray) - believe that Stuart was simply asking whether this disc is a standard CD or a SACD?  Dave

Thanks for the clarification.  In this case, I would have to wait for the physical CD to answer (unless Florestan, Greg or MC Urkneal have a chance to look at their copies first).  I have six recordings by Savall/Alia Vox.  Two are SACD hybrid and four are regular CDs, and I don't see any pattern of dates or performing forces to suggest what recordings are chosen to be issued as SACD.

ETA: FWIW, Amazon lists it as a Hybrid SACD.

This could be a listing error on Amazon.  I would go by the actual SACD logo on the CD jacket.  If it is not there, then the CD is most likely a redbook CD ...

Can't speak to any of the others, but that Tallis CD is excellent, although I guess it's too late to have it for Christmas (the liturgical date to which the music is connected).

If you count Handel Messiah as Christmas music, I have over two dozen versions of it between CD's, DVD's, LP's and open-reel tapes.  I also have Christmas music by the Tallis Scholars and other medieval composers.  I also have many versions of Bach Christmas Oratorio so I am pretty well covered ...

My copy says "Hybrid SACD".

Be it as it may, this is a fabulous disc. You're in for a real treat both musically and sonically, Jeffrey.

I have noticed some of the Alia Vox recordings are released in both redbook CD and SACD formats with the latter being priced a little higher ...

Good choice.  This one is great and comes at one hell of a price.

I am rather surprised that even labels such as Naxos have not recorded any of his [Novák] work. Normally a good resource for less known composers. I might write to them suggesting they record some of his works. Someone has to promote him!

Naxos has released Novák's "Trio quasi una ballata Op. 27" played by Joachim Trio. I don't have that disc but it is interesting. There is piano trio music by Smetana and Suk too on that disc. I don't have anything by Novák but I would welcome better coverage of his music by Naxos and other labels.

No need to wait.  There are over 10 recordings currently available that are devoted to Novak.
