Tchaikovsky/Swan Lake & Sleeping Beauty Suites Hybrid Stereo Japanese Import SACD |
 |
Audiophile Recording!
Herbert von Karajan conducts the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra for three major
pieces composed by Tchaikovsky - Swan Lake Suite, The Nutcracker Suite, and
Sleeping Beauty Suite.
Classical masterpiece collection:
The reissue of classical music masterpieces by ESOTERIC has attracted a lot of
attention, both for its uncompromising commitment to recreating the original
master sound, and for using hybrid Super Audio CD (SACD) technology to improve
sound quality. This series marks the first hybrid SACD release of historical
recording selections that have been mainstays of the catalog since their initial
release.
These new audio versions feature ESOTERIC’s proprietary re-mastering process to
achieve the highest level of sound quality.
ESOTERIC equipment used for re-mastering:
The criterion of re-mastering is to faithfully capture the quality of the
original master. Esoteric's flag ship D/A/ converters, model D-o1VU, Rubidium
master clock generator model G-0Rb and Esoteric Mexcel interconnect cables and
power cords were all used for this re-mastering session. This combination of
highly advanced technology greatly contributed to capturing the high quality
sound of the original master.
Experience by yourself… Experience the legendary performance in this new Super
Audio CD/CD format. Not only for new followers, but also for well experienced
followers of these recorded materials. All will be equally impressed by the
“soul” hidden within the notes, but never before found in previously released
recordings in any format.
