Aiming for the best sound quality, it is a new reprint from the home country analog master tape. With new commentary A gem of a gem by Annie Fisher, who left a high-quality sound source, although the recording itself was small. A collection of six precious Mozart concerto recordings left on the former EMI label from 1958 to 1966. It is a masterpiece that remains in record history with a strong will to perfection. A masterpiece that is highly rated even today, it has been made with the highest quality possible, aiming for the best sound quality! SACD brings back the fresh tone. For this release, we used masters digitized at 192kHz/24bit from the original analog master tapes in Japan, and mastered separately the SACD layer and the CD layer. With new commentary. It is a permanent preservation board. Among the many recordings of Mozart, this performance by Annie Fischer can be said to be a solitary recording that is incomparable to this one. An immutable value that certainly exists in the midst of tension. Known as a perfectionist, her recordings are extremely rare compared to her fame. Her attitude of being faithful to her score and eliminating any compromise is followed in every song, and it is also a feature that it is a well-thought-out recording. The finely honed sensibility and dignified expression are truly exquisite. It is a pity that No. 25 and No. 26 of the late concertos were not recorded, but these six songs are recordings that should be listened to for a long time as masterpieces. It's also interesting that her conductors are different for each of her original debut albums, and it's typical of her to keep her piano stance the same from beginning to end, even though each album has a different style. Her first recording with Boult in 1958 shows her gentle expression, the richness of her musicality on Sawallisch in 1959, and her flexibility with Kurz in 1966. The confrontation with the person will also be a highlight. In addition, although the recording location is the same, the timing, producer, and engineer are different, so the sound quality is different. In addition, we released a CD as our planning board in 2012, but at this time remastering etc. did not come true, DISC 1 and 3 used the remastered sound source digitized in 1990, and DISC 2 in 2004. Therefore, the difference in sound quality due to age was remarkable. This time, it has been unified and reprinted from the analog master tape in the home country, so it has become a quality that can be dismissed from the past board in terms of sound quality.(1/2)Tower Records (2023/04/06)In this series, the SACD layer aims for high resolution and a rich sound field with extended high frequencies and soft nuances, while the CD layer aims for a solid and solid sound with a sense of reality. The potential of the CD itself is also high, so please enjoy it as an SACD hybrid board where you can enjoy the goodness of both. In addition, I posted a new sentence by Mr. Wilhelm Yoshizawa in the commentary. This time, the 54th edition of the Definition Series will release two titles.
