Mercury Living Presence SACD's

Has anyone bought these yet? I got my first M.L.P. SACD remaster today. It's the Stravinsky's Firebird with Antal Dorati and the LSO. The sound is simply spectacular. It's reminiscent of 2 of my favorite Everest SACD reissues: Night in the Tropics and the Little Train of Caipira.
The soundstage is wide with nice ambient cues. You feel transported to the hall. Also the dynamic swings are huge.

Can't wait for the Respighi Ancient Airs and Dances!

I didn't mention anything about the performance because it's now accepted as a classic.

Another success from Mercury Living Presence in the release of Respighi's Ancient Dances and Airs. The performance itself is classic. The sound is quite beautiful though a tiny bit closer (forward) in perspective as compared to the Stravinsky release.
