Description: Description Lorin Maazel Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet 2 SACD TOWER RECORDS JAPAN Product introduction A project commemorating the 130th anniversary of Prokofiev's birth.The world's first SA-CD of the historical masterpiece that was the first recording of DECCA by Maazel & Cleeveland!The latest reproduction of the excellent recording that shows the awesomeness of the recording technology by DECCA at that time.1974 Record Academy Award winning board.New and latest reproduction from the original analog master tape of the home country This album is a monumental sound source that became the first meeting of this combination of Maazel, who became the music director of the Cleveland Orchestra from 1972 after George Szell who died in 1970. For the West, it was the first recording of all songs in this work. The Rogest Vensky & Bolshoi Theater Orchestra put it on the Melodiya label in 1959, which was the world's first recording, but the recording of all the suites is extremely rare, and a total of four works in the LP era. Stay in. Immediately after this Maazel board, a recording by the Previn & London Symphony Orchestra was also made to EMI. It is interesting that the Maazel version was recorded on June 4-6, 1973, while the Previn version started recording only two days later (recorded on June 8-14). In the history of recording, these two pieces played a big role, and for a long time they have reigned as a sound source that is the best of all songs. In particular, the Maazel board has excellent recording technology by DECCA at that time, and is well known as an excellent recording board. The elaborate and versatile expressive power of the Cleveland Orchestra, which maintained the highest level of performance at that time, is suitable for reproducing the complicated orchestration of Prokofiev, and the genius conducting and propulsion by Maazel, who is only 43 years old. Immediately after its appearance, it was evaluated as a decisive board, including its strength. Even in Japan, it won the 1974 Record Academy Award, and while some important discs have been released since digital recording, it is still highly regarded as a masterpiece. It is a sound source in the heyday of analog recording, and since it is newly digitized directly from the analog master tape in the home country with DSD, it is a reproduction that was able to fully demonstrate the sound quality including the hidden potential. It has become. Prokofiev's genius inspiration and orchestration skill can be fully enjoyed in the place where it is most amazing that the performance and recording are sometimes intense but with plenty of space and bulge. In this reprint, we went back to the original analog master tape in our home country and digitized high-quality sound. Not limited to this time, we used the top flat master, so we have a very good presence. The texture and localization are surprisingly clear and clear, and the benefits of DSD are added to reproduce the unprecedented excellent sound quality. In producing, the former DECCA engineer at CLASSIC SOUND in the UK performed physical maintenance and repair of the original analog master tape in the home country, and then directly performed DSD conversion for this series. We spent a lot of time mastering the work in a detailed process. In the SA-CD layer, you can enjoy high-definition master sound. The CD layer has also undergone the latest digitization and mastering, which sets it apart from the sound quality of conventional discs. This series uses the original jacket design, and the 28-page Japanese manual, which includes a ballet synopsis and explanations for each song (all songs), also includes a new preface commentary by Mr. Ryosuke Masuda.Work informationMainConductor: Lorin MaazelOrchestra: Cleveland Orchestra othersViolin: Daniel MajeskeCornet: David SauderPerformer: Edward Almond (Viola d'amore)Composer: Sergei Prokofiev Contents Number of components | 2 sheets Dishon | Remaster SongSergei Prokofiev: Ballet "Romeo and Juliet" Op. 64 All songs
