Query: SACD sound overly reverberant, better elsewhere

Because the same thing is available on the cheap Brilliant label, on old Philips and now on Pentatone -which to buy? I love Elly Ameling in general for her light beautiful voice. Storming and shrieking was not her thing. Or at least I thought. This album isn't the one for me. She is in opera mode and there is a harshness to her voice not found elsewhere. Worst of all is the echo-hall acoustic. The SACD version seems to have made it worse. Really annoying for me. Don't spend the extra money on this. Cheap Brilliant is fine for this album. It's not for the Haydn. There the SACD sound pays off.
