Kurt Sanderling - Mahler: Symphonies (1979, 1983) [2018 3xSACD]

A new SACD project from ETERNA's original analog tapes has started! Three Mahler songs, masterpieces left by Sanderling at the end of his analog recording period, are revived in the ultimate form! Reprinted with ideal digitization and mastering. Mastered only in the analog domain and converted to direct DSD!
All three of Mahler's works by Kurt Sanderling, recorded on the former Eterna label in 1979 and 1983, at the end of analog recording, are imported from the original analog master tapes in Germany as the world's first SACD in order of recording. The latest reprint in 2018 with a 3-disc set. We will renew the sound quality and release the prestige Mahler performance of the former East Germany at that time in the best possible way. These recordings, which were recorded after he retired from the Berlin Symphony Orchestra's principal conductor, seem to have been carefully prepared, and at that time, they were albums with a high degree of perfection in terms of both performances and recordings. After this, Sanderling will re-record No. 9 in the session, but the other two songs are the only recordings. These performances, which are carried out in a heavy and long style, have attracted attention since their release. In particular, there were still few recordings of the third Cook version of No. 10, and it is still fresh in our memory that this Sanderling board was evaluated worldwide as a standard board for a while and became the foundation of the subsequent boom. is.
These discs have been reissued many times in the CD era, but the original Sanderling's elegant expression is spoiled by the somewhat flat sound quality on CD, and the performance lacks variation and is gentle. There may be a feeling that it was evaluated as. However, in this reprint, Sanderling's original conducting, which seeks fine performances and a range of expressions down to the smallest details, is revived. As a result, you can see that Mahler's performance was both extremely delicate and bold. You can enjoy a more precise performance while keeping the simple and robust sound of the former East Germany.
