It probably is the definitive version, but it's annoying, because they are clipping (digitally) the CD layer, and it is just from earlier releases, while the SACD layer is the total reworked re-mix. I wish they'd done a clean 2 channel down conversion of the SACD layer for the CD layer.
Now, someone that I keep buying the same music or similar music over agai too often is Jacque Loussier Play Bach. His SACD release is quite good; even the Hybrid layer is stunnning. (jazz trio doing jazz interpretations of Bach and other classical composeres; he's on his second trio; I got hooked on him in the early 70's with his first trio, but he "wore out" those side men (too old). He's pretty anceint himself, but he has utterly remarkable energy and playing style; playing with musicians 35 years younger than him now.
