Description: ●Item TitleESOTERIC SACD ESSD-90288 BRAHMS Symphony No. 2・Overtures MONTEUX PSL ●DescriptionCondition:New Brahms full of the richness of the great conductor Pierre Monteux's final years. To mark the 60th anniversary of his death, Esoteric has created a remaster of this masterpiece. ■Super Audio CD hybrid software unique to ESOTERIC...ESOTERIC's classic reprint series has received high praise for its insatiable commitment to original master sound and the overwhelming improvement in sound quality through Super Audio CD hybridization.Since its release, it has been acclaimed as a definitive masterpiece, and to this day it has never disappeared from the catalogue.Using technology and sensibilities that have evolved from the original master, we have DSD-mastered this masterpiece to create the world's first Super Audio CD hybrid. Ta. ■A record of a lifetime's worth of art...Brahms's Symphony No. 2 is characterized by a naturally rising and flowing musical thought, and Monteux sings it very naturally, with a silver tone. The exquisite slightly slow tempo, the supple intonation of the melody, the intricate motif processing typical of Brahms, and the balance supported by the elegant expression are truly the skills of a master.The small pockets that are inserted in unexpected places are also exquisite, and the first and second violins placed on the left and right bring out the details of the music clearly and enhance the three-dimensional feel of the music. It is also unusual for a conductor born in the 19th century to insist on repeating the presentation section of the first movement, and although it is against classical rules that the second movement is even more emotional, Monteux's work It's probably because of the love that flows through it.The performance is not dead, but you can feel the passion burning within, and especially in the climax of the final movement, you can feel the deep drama without increasing the tempo or making the orchestra scream.The two coupling overtures are also memorable masterpieces, and should be passed down for a long time as a record of the life-long artistic work of one of the great masters of the 20th century. ■A famous recording that captures the rich sound as it is as a dense reverberation.…The recording session took place at Wembley Town Hall (also known as Brent Town Hall) in London.Although the resonance is short, it captures the perspective of the entire orchestra and ensures a sound that does not neglect the clarity of details, so the rich sound created by Monteux is packed as a dense sound without any frills.The localization of the first and second violins, which are placed on the left and right sides, and the presence of the woodwind group located in the center are also very clear, and the balance that Monteux carefully arranged is beautifully reproduced. It was released on CD in 1994, and just two years later, it was selected as part of a 24-bit digital mastering series planned in Japan and was reissued, gaining so much popularity that it became a collector's item. In 2018, it was made into a Super Audio CD hybrid, and this is the second DSD remaster and Super Audio CD hybrid after six years. For this hybridization, as in the past, we worked without compromise, from the selection of the master to be used to the final DSD mastering process.Especially for DSD mastering, we use "Esoteric Mastering". Introducing ESOTERIC's carefully tuned top-of-the-line equipment Master SoundDiscrete DAC and Master Sound Discrete Clock. In addition, by generously using MEXCEL cables, we were able to record the information contained in the original master onto a disc with a smooth sound. ●Shipping Expedited shipping (FedEx,DHL,Japan Post)We usually ship out your order within 5-10 working days after receiving your payment.The package will arrive about 1-3 week after shipment. ●International Buyers - Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost.
