Description: Description Arthur Grumiaux Vivaldi The Four Seasons SACD Hybrid TOWER RECORDS JAPANProduct introduction A project commemorating the 100th anniversary of Grumiaux's birth. The latest reproduction of the "four seasons" of the original performance by modern musical instruments and modern playing methods.A masterpiece that remains in history as a royal performance. Super-excellent recording of the end of analog acclaimed by Tetsuo Nagaoka!New and latest reproduction from the original analog master tape of the home country! PHILIPS master This album is the world's first to combine one of Vivaldi's songs from "JS Bach & Vivaldi: Vivaldi Concerto" (6500 119) released in 1971 with "Vivaldi: The Four Seasons" (9500 613) released by Philips in 1980. It is a SA-CD version (the latter two Bach songs will be released simultaneously on PROC-2323). Belgian virtuoso Arthur Grumiaux (1921-1986), who celebrated his 100th birthday this year (2021), is a player who uses a variety of tones and sophisticated techniques to show his unsewn performance and beautifully portray the appearance of the song. However, these characteristics are also shown in the Vivaldi performance here. In one of the songs in "L'estro Armonic" Op.3, the A Minor Concerto, which is also famous as a student concerto, Grumio exquisitely depicts the changing scene of the work due to the exquisite changes in tone color in a neat form. increase.This attitude of Grumiaux does not change at all in "Four Seasons". In 1980, when he released the LP of "Four Seasons", unique performances such as Mariner's 1969 recording and Harnoncourt's 1977 recording were announced, and each of them had a great reputation. At a time when "Four Seasons" began to be interpreted in various ways, Grumiaux's conclusion was to perform according to the score with modern instruments and modern playing styles. Today, 40 years after recording, the performance of "Four Seasons" has become more diverse, but it is no exaggeration to say that the Grumiaux board is becoming more and more valuable as an original performance with modern instruments.In addition, this "Four Seasons" is an analog that audio critic Tetsuo Nagaoka described as "probably one of the best three recordings in the four seasons" (from "Outer Edition A Class Selection") when the LP first appeared. Being an excellent recording at the end of the term also enhances its existence value. Please thoroughly enjoy the recording named "The sound image localization is real and the sound field is naturally wide. Even if you play it with Matrix speakers, you can see that it is genuine because the sound field is wider than the other four seasons" (same as above). .. In this reprint, we went back to the original analog master tape in our home country and digitized high-quality sound. Not only this time, but because we used the top flat master, 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 physically maintained and repaired 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. In this series, we adopted the original jacket design and posted a new preface commentary.
