* 1. The criterion of re-mastering is to faithfully capture the quality of the original master tapes. ESOTERIC's flag ship D/A converters, model D-01VU, Rubidium master clock generator model G-0Rb and ESOTERIC MEXCEL cables, were all used for this re-mastering session. This combination of highly advanced technology greatly contributed to capturingthe high quality sound of the original master tapes.
* 2. This vinyl was directly pressed from the first mold produced by the original Lacquer. The "Mother" copy extraction and its mold do not exist during the production process (two processes shorter than conventional vinyl production); allowing the groove edge to remain sharp on final vinyl. As a result press quantity is extremely limited!!
* 3. All material quality is carefully selected and strictly managed for reduced surface noise.

A selection of historical masterpiece recordings, re-mastered with cutting edge technologies and with ESOTERIC's respect for music - ESOTERIC vinyl collections take listeners to the "next level" of musical expression.
From original liner notes;
"Mozart's final piano concerto K.595 was central to Clifford Curzon's musical personality for at least the last half of his life and revealed much of his attitude towards performance and recording. He was virtually hypnotized by the piece as a source of endless variation in phrasing, touch and meaning, and proof that he was still making new discoveries in it, right to the end of his life, is that he planned to record it for the fourth time in January 1984···"
"The present performance is the result of recording sessions held on 24 and 25 September 1970. It was only natural that with two such Mozartians as Benjamin Britten and Clifford Curzon these sessions were dominated by musical rather than technical considerations and on the first day things went so well with K.466 that by the end of the second session we not only had a final version of K.466 but a complete performance of K.595 as well. After listening to the tape of K.595 in the evening, work was completed to everyone's satisfaction the following day. Editing took only a few days and Clifford Curzon heard the result soon afterwards···."
