Format:Audio CD
To clear up any confusion prompted by the Amazon info above, you will definitely not need SACD compatible hardware in order to play this set. My CD player was manufactured way before SACD was invented and these discs work fine on it. The sleeve notes state that this release is a hybrid SACD, and therefore compatible with all SACD and CD players.

As for the music, I've only formed first impressions, but it has had favourable reviews on Radio 3. The sound quality is excellent.

SEMYON BYCHKOV and the Verdi Requiem 9 May 2011
By Grady Harp - Published on Amazon.com
Semyon Mayevich Bychkov was born in 1952 in Leningrad but became a US citizen in 1993 making him a Russian-American conductor! This recording of the Verdi Requiem brings together all of the aspects of Bychkov's gifts as a conductor in a performance that is truly operatic in nature and yet blissfully sacred. Part of the success of the recording lies in his choice of soloists - Violeta Urmana, soprano and Olga Boradino, mezzo-soprano have complementary voices (vibratos are similar and ranges are extraordinary), Ramón Vargas, tenor has just the right amount of heft and ring to make his passages memorable, and the always reliable Ferruccio Furlanetto, bass repeats his sound interpretation of his important bass solos.

Bychkov conducts the WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln and WDR Runfunkchor Köln along with NDR Chor and the Chor des Teatro Regio Turin - massive forces that he controls with passion and verve. Bychkov understands this mighty work and pulls impassioned performances from his orchestra and chorus and soloists, making this one of the most magical Verdi Requiems on CDs. Grady Harp, May 11
Possibly, the greatest living conductor 5 April 2012
By Gustav Mahler - Published on Amazon.com
This Verdi Requiem is as good as his Tannhauser and Lohengrin...that is to say, perfect in every respect...chosen tempi, range of dynamics, phrasing, depth of understanding, orchestral detail, sense of overall line and scope...etc.

He is the conductor I've been waiting for all my life. He seems to have synthesized the best characteristics of every great conductor of the past.

His interpretations of Wagner operas are, simply put, are a Kilamanjaro above a level plain compared to even the greatest of the previously released performances both commercial and bootlegged. I only wish he had more "golden age" sopranos at his disposal to support his vision. Urmana is excellent in the Verdi, but the sopranos appearing in the Wagner operas are more than a bit less than great.
