Description:

In terms of sound quality, the latest mastering was done using a flat master that was digitized at 192kHz/24bit, which is higher than ever before, from the original 2-channel analog master tapes in Japan (the 8th track, Mozart, was mixed from a multi-channel master). The sound quality this time is more precise, wider in range, and closer in proximity, so you can enjoy the best performance with more realistic sound quality. Although some noise can be heard in some parts of the recording, we have again respected the original, and have aimed for a musical mastering with a minimal range, including the balance. The commentary includes new text by Ryosuke Masuda. The SACD layer on the CD layer is designed to provide high resolution and a rich sound field with extended high frequencies and soft nuances, while the CD layer is designed to provide a cohesive, solid sound with a realistic timbre. Please enjoy it as a SACD hybrid disc, where you can enjoy the best of both worlds. The 37th release of the Definition Series will feature a total of two titles. (3/3)
