Emil Gilels, George Szell - Beethoven: 5 Piano Concertos (1968) [2015 SACD Definition Serie]

Supreme performance of Gilerith & Cell, which has been highly acclaimed. New mastering digs deeper into the masterpiece!

Includes all five Beethoven Piano Concertos recorded in 1968 by Gillerith on his later Cell and Cleveland tube and former EMI label. It is a masterpiece that has been highly evaluated so far. It is a sound source that has been supported since its release as a wonderful performance that combines knowledge, emotion, and skill at the highest level. For this reprint, a new mastering was performed separately for the SACD layer and the CD layer using a master that was digitized at 96 kHz / 24 bit from the master tape in the home country. The Beethoven between Gilleris and Cell is a sound source that was recorded at a stretch at Severance Hall, home of the Cleveland tube in 1968, and is not a sound source that has been reproduced many times on CDs. The excellence of the performance surpasses the old version with several Gilerith, and it is one of the most outstanding ones among the same performances. The old EMI label made some recordings with the Cell & Cleveland tube at this time. These are still noteworthy sources, as they are the last recordings of the cell, but it's true that recordings have not been evaluated very well until now. In order to reproduce the finish of the recording that does not spoil the splendor of the performance, in this reprint, a piano with a sense of realism along with a clearer sound field, and the excellentness of the back due to the open field of view stand out, more music The whole sound became visible. You will be able to rediscover this masterpiece by seeing how the Cell & Cleveland tube was so excellent and the direction of the cell. I think you can find many more reasons to be a great board.
