Default John Williams Cello Concerto on SACD---yuck!.

Was "lucky' enough to find some John Williams on a Sony Classical
SACD-only disc for just AU$5.00--Cello Concerto/Elegy for cello etc.
Trouble is, the music's horrible and the SACD sound is not as good as
many of my CDs, This is my first taste of SACD and I'm disappointed.
Admittedly I can only listen in stereo, but surely I should be hearing
some improvement. Anyone else got this disc?

Oh, the music. Well, it's kind of atonal, but in a sneaky kind of way,
like you wonder why it's annoying you until you realize it keeps
sliding off the note and there hasn't been a tune in the last ten
minutes. I hope Jenn has heard this music--I'd like her to explain it
to me. I usually like John Williams, but this is music only a mother
could love.
