Description: Description Verdi Requiem & Overtures Tullio Serafin 2 SACD Hybrid TOWER RECORDS Product introduction A historical recording of Requiem of the whole body of Serafin with the heart in the lyrics.Also includes a valuable "Overture Collection" that conducted orchestras other than Italy.World's first SACD. Newly reprinted from the home country analog master tape.With new Japanese commentary. Limited edition of 800 sets with serial number The latest reproduction of the important "Verlek" recording of Serafin (1878-1968) recorded in October 1959. It is not a dimic feature, but a truly orthodox interpretation that depicts the inner side of Verdy by playing faithfully to the song. Few performances are so conscious of the lyrics of choirs and soloists. In addition, all 7 songs of "Overture Collection", which was also performed in 1959, are also recorded in the margin. This is a rare recording with a London orchestra. For this release, we used a master digitized at 192kHz / 24bit from the original analog master tape in our home country, and mastered the SACD layer and CD layer separately. , With new Japanese commentary. It is a permanent storage board. Comes with a serial number limited to 800 sets. This "Requiem" is a performance that is faithful to the song that seems to be Serafin with the main focus on the lyrics, and it is a masterpiece that can be said to be a normative recording even if you are not a Verdy fan. "Overture Collection" is also included in the margin. This time, "Tsubakihime" (TDSA223) in Rome, which was released at the same time, and this album have a lot in common, and "Requiem" was recorded in June 1959 and "Tsubakihime" was recorded in August (and). Both were recorded on October 4th. Probably left behind or re-recorded for defective parts). The orchestra is the same as the Roman Opera Orchestra, the recording location, the producer, and the engineer are all the same. However, the sound quality is different, and it is hard to believe that there are many of the same elements. Of course, the settings are different, so it was a different recording, but the texture was quite different. It may be the storage condition of the master tape or a mixing factor. While the modern reprinting technology is amazing, I also felt the difficulty of reprinting decades later. The "Overture Collection" was also recorded in 1959 and is recorded in London. A rich and stable tone is captured, and it can be seen that a certain level or higher was always secured for recording at this time. It is an important recording left by Serafin, who reigned at the top of the Italian opera conducting world, in the early stages of stereo, and what is there is an interpretation centered on the song and the composer rather than the effect. Its sincere attitude feels attractive even in modern times. There are many recordings of "Requiem" itself. There are many dynamic performances, and in that sense, this Serafin board may look sober. It is a performance that emphasizes the content of the text, and seems to aim for faithful reproduction of the score. Choirs and soloists clearly understand the content of the lyrics and sing with all their heart, which strikes the hearts of listeners. Moderate tempo and superb control are unique to Serafin, and although this performance was reissued from TESTAMENT in the CD era, it is undeniable that it was a hidden existence in other masterpieces. At first glance, the soloist feels that there is no sense of unity, but in the performance, each power is demonstrated brilliantly, and the precision and balance of the ensemble is perfect even now. With this latest reprint, the texture of the voice has improved and the separation of the orchestra has improved. As a result, the buried sounds, overtones, and indirect sounds are enriched. I hope that this board will be added to the masterpiece collection of "Requiem". In addition, although the recording has certain tones, it may be difficult to hear in some parts due to the limits of the dynamic range at that time and the condition of the tape. In addition, the coupling "Overture Collection" was released in one album with all seven songs, but after the latter four songs were recorded with the Royal Philharmonia on February 19, 1959, in February. On the 27th, the Philharmonia Orchestra and the first three songs are recorded, which is actually an irregular recording. Although it is unclear whether the reason for changing the orchestra is due to the contract, there is a sense of unity, and this is also a unique performance that is unique to Serafin. This time, we are doing the latest mastering using a flat master digitized at 192kHz / 24bit from the original 2Ch analog master tape in our home country. The master was generally in good balance and had little secular variation. Therefore, I emphasized the original balance as much as possible and tried to master from a musical point of view. As a result, the sense of distance and depth of the instrument are improved, and the localization is improved, so you can enjoy the best performance without stress. In addition, a new sentence by Mr. Junnobu Kishi has been posted in the Japanese manual.In this series, the SACD layer aims for a high resolution and rich sound field with a long high range and soft nuances, and the CD layer aims for a realistic tone that is extruded with a cohesive and solid sound. The potential of the CD itself is high, and you can enjoy it as a SACD hybrid disc where you can enjoy the goodness of both.
