If you can find it, Shastokovich's Jazz Suites on Naxos are available in
SACD, as well as on DVD-A. They were recorded in the Soviet Union as 48/24
multitrack, and so don't represent the ultimate in SACD. But the sound is
excellent.


For Shostakovich, I would add the 8th symphony on Capriccio (Kitaenko)
or LSOLive (Rostropovich).

I cannot recommend the Shostakovich Symp #1 and 5 with Masur and the London
Philharmonic....dull, dull, dull.


Yup.

For Vaughan Williams, try A Sea Symphony on Telarc (Spano)

Of course, my suggestions are based on auditioning these in MCH. I am
not making any recommendations of the stereo DSD tracks because I have
not heard them.
