Description: Description Karajan VPO Brahms Symphony No.1 Tragic Overture SACD Hybrid TOWER RECORDS JAPANProduct introductionThe world's first SA-CD of the exquisite performances of Karajan & Vienna Philharmonic in the middle ages! An excellent recording of DECCA that captures the fulfilling sound of those days. Karajan's 110th anniversary release! New mastering from the original analog master in your home country Karajan (1908-89) had an exclusive contract with the British Columbia after the war, but after Furtwängler's death in 1954, he began to lead both the Berlin Philharmonic and the Vienna Philharmonic orchestra, and was associated with the Berlin Philharmonic. We are looking for a recording on the British Decca, which had an exclusive contract with the German Gramophone, the Vienna Philharmonic. When Decca Records formed a partnership with RCA in the United States in 1957, Karajan became even more attracted to Decca Records (= RCA) as a window to the American record world. In the fall of 1959, he was preparing for a major performance tour with the Vienna Philharmonic (starting in New Delhi, India, to Manila, Hong Kong, Japan, Hawaii, the United States, and Canada). Then, in 1959, he stopped having an exclusive relationship with one company and started recording on the German Gramophone, British Decca, and US RCA labels.The first of these was Brahms' Symphony No. 1 on this SA-CD, which was recorded in Vienna by the recording staff of Decca in the UK in March 1959 for the US RCA. At the same time, Beethoven's Symphony No. 7, Hydon's No. 104, Mozart's No. 40, and Strauss Concert were recorded on the US RCA. These songs are also songs from the performance tour in the fall of 1959, and in fact, in October 1959, just before coming to Japan, Brahms' Symphony No. 1 (LS2242) and Strauss Concert (LS2244) were recorded on LP by Victor. It was released. Record recording will be a rehearsal for the concert, and the released record will be a promotion for the concert and a souvenir for those who listened to the concert. = I am surprised that it was foreseen from the time of the contract with US RCA. After that, due to the dissolution of the tie-up between Decca Records in the UK and RCA in the US, the release right of these sound sources was transferred to Decca Records in the UK, and this jacket is also the one released in June 1971 (SDD283) of Decca Records in the UK. ..Karajan recorded Brahms' Symphony No. 1 six times in a session, and there are several other live recordings, but this recording is late because the beauty of the strings and tubes of the Vienna Philharmonic stands out. One of the characteristics of the tempo-based approach is that Karajan's youthful ambition before becoming a master is strong. In the second movement, you can hear the aesthetic violin solo of Boskovsky, the concertmaster of the time, which is exactly the beauty of "adding Nishikigami flowers".The tragic overture of Coupling was recorded in September 1961. This was released for the first time on LP by Decca Records in 1962 in collaboration with Brahms' Symphony No. 3 (SET 231). The tone is better than Symphony No. 1, and it is said to be slow and slow, and the performance has a more romantic taste.In producing this series, high-definition digitization (DSD) is performed after physical maintenance and repair of the original analog master tape in the home country, and a detailed process for this series by a dedicated label engineer in the home country. I spent a lot of time doing mastering work. In the SA-CD layer, you can enjoy high-definition master sound. The CD layer has also undergone the latest digitization and mastering in 2018, so it is different from the sound quality of the conventional board. This album is a famous album that has been released many times in the CD era, but I think you can re-recognize that this reprint was a masterpiece that perfectly fused the profound sound and the detailed composition of Karajan. In terms of sound quality, it was a level that clearly shows that Decca was excellent at that time, and in particular, it was possible to thin down to the recording quality that shows that it is comparable to various masterpieces with the Berlin Philharmoniker.Work informationMainConductor: Herbert von KarajanOrchestra: Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra OtherComposer: Johannes Brahms Contents Number of components | 1 sheet Song1.
