Audio masterpiece collection [classic edition] 2nd season, 2nd volume!

Stereo Sound Co., Ltd.'s ``Audio Masterpiece Collection (Classic Edition)'' is a collection of classic performances and recordings that have been converted into digital discs using flat transfer from analog master tapes from Japan, using a single-layer SACD+CD format. The second season started in the fall of 2018, and following the first two titles released in October, the second two titles will be released.


Wilkinson recording disc with a vast sound stage

The first title of the second installment of the second season is "Spanish Suite", which is an orchestral arrangement of Albéniz's piano music. Conductor Rafael Frübeck de Burgos, who arranged the orchestra himself, brings the New Philharmonia Orchestra to life with exotic rhythms. Since its first release in the 1960s, this work has been reissued many times and has become popular with audiophiles around the world, not only because of the wonderful songs, arrangements, and performances, but also because of its dynamic and colorful One of the reasons for this is that Decca's famous engineer Kenneth Wilkinson was able to masterfully encapsulate the performance on master tape. Moreover, if you hear that the recording venue is Kingsway Hall in London, many people will be excited about this golden combination. And if you play it on a well-tuned audio system, you'll never be disappointed: the string instruments will spread out wide to the left and right, and the wind and percussion instruments will come from far behind. Please enjoy this fascinating orchestral sound recorded by Kenneth Wilkinson to the fullest extent of its dynamics, on SACD delivered directly from the master tapes.


Single layer SACD+CD specification

The disc specifications are the same as the first season, with the same performance recorded on single layer SACD and CD. However, in accordance with each disc, SACDs are converted directly to DSD from the analog master (SACD recording format), and CDs are converted directly to PCM (CD recording format) from the analog master, so each disc has You will be able to enjoy the format's features and potential to the fullest.


Digital transfer work at Classic Sound Ltd UK

Engineers Jonathan Stokes and Neil Hutchinson from Decca and affiliated with Classic Sound Ltd UK were in charge of digitizing the analog tapes. At the request of Stereo Sound, these two veteran engineers digitized the original analog master tapes using flat transfer, which eliminates the use of compressors. Therefore, the hiss and dropouts contained in the master tape remain, but the sound of the master tape, which only a limited number of people are allowed to hear, is reproduced as faithfully as possible on two types of digital discs (SACD and CD). It's contained.

This product is a digitized version of the original analog master tape audio with virtually no processing. Therefore, as a general rule, not only do we cut the ultra-low range, but we also do not perform equalization to make the sound easier to hear, nor do we perform any correction processing such as noise reduction or dropout caused by the master tape. This is based on a product plan that aims to deliver the sound of the master tape, which was only available to a limited number of production personnel, to the audio file as faithfully as possible.
