In this reprint, the sound quality has been renewed from the conventional CD, and the original bright and thick tone has been revived. Singing by the star-class singers of the past is also a must-listen. A new commentary book written by Suminobu Kishi, which describes the detailed music commentary and synopsis of the work, is also a must-read.

"The Magic Flute" was recorded when Sawallisch was 48 years old, and was performed with the Bavarian State Opera, where he had been appointed as music director the year before the recording. This recording has a strong cast: the overwhelming power of Edda Moser's Queen of the Night, Peter Schreier's Tamino, which is graceful enough for a prince, Pamina, which is textured, by Anneliese Rothenberger, and the friendly Walther of Papageno. ・Berry and Olivera Miljakovic's Papagena, Kurt Moll who plays the skillful Sarastro, etc. In addition, Schreier recorded the same role with Suitner & Staatskapelle Dresden two years before this recording (Original Eurodisc. Reprinted SACD hybrid board (TWSA1089) as a Tower project board in July 2021. Lyrics included) Both are famous, so it will be interesting to listen and compare, including the difference in sound quality depending on the label. There is also a big difference in conducting, and both Sawallisch's orderly and formal music and Suitner's straightforward approach to the image of the work are attractive. In addition, there is no other difference in the Sawallisch board. Details are given in the commentary by Mr. Suminobu Kishi, but the duet by Tamino and Papageno, which was not present at the premiere, was added to the second act, and it is believed that this was the first piece performed ten years after the premiere. matter. According to the librettist, it is claimed to be Mozart's work, but there seems to be some debate as to its authenticity. In any case, there is no sound source of “Magic Flute” that is so fulfilling including performance. The sound quality is also excellent in this reprint, so please check the high degree of perfection with high sound quality. This time, from the original 2ch analog master tape in my home country, we are using the latest mastering using a flat master that has been digitized at 192kHz/24bit. The master was generally well-balanced and had little aging. For that reason, we focused on the balance of the original 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 is improved, and the improved localization allows you to enjoy the best performance without stress. In addition, a new sentence by Mr. Suminobu Kishi was posted in the Japanese commentary. In this series, the SACD layer aims for high resolution and a rich sound field with extended high frequencies and soft nuances, while the CD layer aims for a solid and solid sound with a sense of reality. The potential of the CD itself is also high, so please enjoy it as an SACD hybrid board where you can enjoy the goodness of both. A total of 2 titles will be released for the 56th edition of the Definition Series this time. The old EMI label has a large number of opera sound sources, but in the CD era, there were few reissues except for some famous sound sources, and there was a long period of time when domestic editions did not include lyrics translations when reissued. As you know, there are few reprints, including imported ones, these days. Under such circumstances, I have tried to reprint several operas in this Definition series. One of the things we have learned, including the policy of the former EMI label, is that the preservation and maintenance of the original analog master tapes is generally solid, and for items that have few recurrences or new remasters, including the LP era, the master tape (2ch) It means that many of them are in good condition because they are played less frequently. In particular, among the records with few recurrences, it turned out that there are many opera sound sources whose CD masters were made only once in the early days of digital. Therefore, if these sound sources are reprinted with the latest version, the sound quality difference with the conventional board will be clear because it can be reproduced with the best sound quality than the conventional board in the recent digital conversion process. In addition, many of the reprints of the opera were recorded at a reasonable cost at the time, and the fact that the quality can be made better by improving the sound quality is also a plus factor. In addition, although there is also the problem of aging of the master tape, the deterioration of the old EMI sound source was less compared to other major labels. Rather, it seems that the difference due to the above-mentioned playback frequency is larger. After focusing on how we can bring the number of buried masterpieces to the release, we have decided on reprinted items this time as well. Based on the above, we intend to release important recordings of operas in the future.Work information Main Conductor: Wolfgang Sawallisch Orchestra: Bavarian State Opera Orchestra Bass: Kurt Mol Tenor: Peter Schreier others Chorus: Chorus of the Bavarian State Opera Soprano: Edda Moser, Anneliese RothenbergerComposer: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Contents Number of components | 2 sheets Track Listing Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Die Zauberflöte, K. 620 Performer Sarastro: Kurt Moll (bass) Tamino: Peter Schreier (tenor) Queen of the Night: Edda Moser (soprano) Pamina: Anneliese Rothenberger (soprano) Papageno: Walter Berry (Baritone) Papagena: Olivera Miljaković (soprano) Speaker: Theo Adam (bass) First Handmaiden: Leonore Kirschstein (Soprano) Second Handmaiden: Ilse Gramatzki (mezzo-soprano) Third Handmaid: Brigitte Fassbender (Contralto) Monostatos: Willy Brochmeier (tenor) First warrior: Wilfried Badrek (tenor) Second Warrior: Gunter Wevel (bass) First Child: Walter Gumpert (Telz Boys Choir) Second Child: Peter Hinterreiter (Telz Boys Choir) The Third Child : Andreas Stein (Telz Boys Choir) Bavarian State Opera Chorus (Chorus Master: Wolfgang Baumgartsch) Bavarian State Opera Orchestra Wolfgang Sawallisch (Conductor) recording 8-16 August 1972, Burgerbrau, Munich Original Recordings Producer: Helmut Storjohann, Engineer: Christfried Bickenbach, Wolfgang Gulich Shipping We will select and ship from Fedex, DHL, Japan Post.Additional shipping charges may be incurred if otherwise specified.Please be sure to contact us before ordering.We will aim to dispatch all orders within 5 days of confirmed payment.
