My question is not addressed in the review. Perhaps you can answer it directly? It is a rather specific one: have you simply converted the original soundfield recording to 7.1 or have you done something artificial with the acoustic according to your taste? (I don't know how purist the original soundfield recording was in the first place.)

The original Phillips SACD release was 4.0 done in the beginning of the decade, Besides many things described by Terrance in his review I can add that
Using the advantages of 7.1 media I was able to produce better definition of Mullova violin as well as to complement this outstanding material recorded previously for Decca by greater perception of natural hall acoustics in additional surround channels.
