Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli - Beethoven: Piano Concerto Nos. 1, 3 & 5 (1971) [2017 SACD Vintage Collection]

Julini and three Beethoven songs from Vienna in 1979. DISC2 is the world's first SA-CD!
All new mastering from the original analog master in the home country.

These three concerto recordings, which took place in Vienna in the form of a special concert for television broadcasting in 1979, occupy a special place in Michelangeli's less formal recordings. Due to the extremely few concerto recordings, there is also a live here, so the presence and the atmosphere of the audience as if they were present are wonderful due to the excellent recording of analog recordings by DG at the end of the time Is caught in Especially with this SA-CD, you will be surprised by the realism of live performance. With a DSD sound source with rich overtones and excellent reproducibility of the sound field, such a live can be said to be more easily transmitted to the listener. In this reprint, the first generation 16-channel multitrack was newly mixed and remixed to 2 channels. We have commercialized through high-quality digitalization and careful mastering. Since only the first and third commercially available SA-CD single layers have been released in the past, the world's first SA-CD conversion will be only two songs of DISC2, but DISC1 is also new according to this reprint. I am producing. Three concertos and two solo piano piano sonatas, released in 1971, were released. Giulini's meticulous support is wonderful first, and the optimal accompaniment based on Michelangeli's intent is further enhancing the artistic perfection of these performances. The beautiful reverberation after touching the piano that rises to every corner of the venue, the rich reverberation of Musikvereinsar, and the atmosphere of the breathtaking audience are mixed together and reproduced on the speakers is a masterpiece, A sound source that I would recommend for many audio files. In the production of this board, the original analog master tape of the home country was physically maintained and repaired, followed by high-quality digitization (PCM), and a dedicated engineer of the home country's label performed a detailed process for this series. Took a long time to do the mastering work. In the SA-CD layer, you can enjoy high-definition master sounds. The CD layer has also been digitized and mastered to the latest level, which is different from the sound quality of the conventional version. This series features an original jacket design and features a new preface commentary by Mr. Jiro Hamada. This 6th vintage SA-CD collection will release a total of 3 titles.
(Posted on June 22) In addition, in this reprint, the applause before and after the concert recorded on the original analog master tape and the lingering between movements are also reproduced as it is.
