Доп. информация:
. These Living Stereo Super Audio CDs are newly remastered in DSD (Direct Stream Digital) from original source tape by the award-winning Soundmirror engineering team headed by John Newton. The reissue series features legendary performances from RCA Red Seal’s greatest artists including Arthur Rubinstein, Van Cliburn, Charles Munch, Fritz Reiner & more! Original cover art is updated with a contemporary new look.
. Another of the five new Living Stereo SACD reissues, & the 1st time this particular coupling has been offered on disc. The original 3-track recordings were made in 1960 & 1961, after Cliburn has made his initial splash with his exciting & top-selling LP of the Tchaikovsky First Piano Concerto. It was also made right after the young pianist’s public appearances as guest soloist with the Chicago Symphony & Reiner.
Both of these concertos are cornerstones of the piano concerto repertory & full of the grand gesture, which both Cliburn & Reiner & his players never fail to deliver 100%. The fire & excitement of the performances makes the works sound not at all overly-familiar. I’m not sure what the complaint of some audiophile reviewers about the “graininess” of the Living Stereo reissues’ sonics is all about. Yes, they may not have quite the transparency & detail of the very best multichannel digital recordings of today, but I’m not hearing “grain” in these gorgeous SACD remasterings.
What I am hearing is the sizeable enhancement provided by the discrete center channel. This is especially useful on piano concertos. First, it places the instrument much more realistically in front of the orchestra & provides a more filled-out sonic image of the center portion of the orchestra. Second, it images the piano as normally-sized & not 40 feet wide as with most piano recordings in stereo.
