Planned for 50 years after Kertesz's death.

The latest reprint of Mozart's "Requiem", another masterpiece with VPO.

An ideal performance featuring Amering and other excellent vocalists.

An excellent recording disc of performances with all one's might! Three songs are coupled in the margins.

For this release, the latest reprint from the original analog master tape in the home country. World's first SA-CD version!

As the basis of the project to mark the 50th anniversary of his death, Kertesz selected three songs from Mozart's Requiem, which he recorded with the Vienna Philharmonic in 1965, and Mozart's Masonic Music Collection, which he recorded in 1968 with the London Symphony Orchestra. will be newly coupled and reprinted as the world's first SACD sound source.

Along with Amering and other beautiful vocalists, DECCA's clear and realistic recordings will vividly portray the genius of Mozart's music.

The latest reprint demonstrates the true value of DSD, which originally excelled in sound quality for vocal music.

Previously on commercially available CDs, the third song, ``Funeral Music for Freemasons,'' without vocal music, was included in ``Requiem,'' but in this reprint, other vocal works included in the original album were included. We also coupled two songs.

Although it is a rare work, you can enjoy the effects of SACD conversion.
