Tubular Bells or Tubular Bells 2003??

[dirk1843]

These are available in different formats...........SACD for the original, and DVD-A for 2003.

Are there major differences in the two, which would be the recomended version?? (please no SACD vs DVD-A, just one recording vs the other.)

Here's an excellant review comparing the two..

I had the CD - bought the SACD - like the music, but not enough to have 2 new versions of it..

Thanks John.

The 2003 edition DVD-A ... no question. I love it..

After reading the review, I am leaning toward the SACD release of the original.

This is due to what the reviewer said about the panning of the insturments around the speakers. I think this would take away from the performance.
