The first act of "Valkyrie", a revolutionary recording of Klemperer's later years, is reproduced with the coupling at the time of the release of the original LP! The world's first SACD! Excellent recording.

In the original form from Act 1 and Act 3 of `` Valkyrie '' recorded in 1969 and the following 1970's, two Wagner songs recorded by Christa Ludwig as a soloist in '62, and '61 It is a two-piece set of Klemperer gem that combines "Siegfried Pastoral". Unusually recorded in the church, "Valkyrie" is a wonderful recording, and SACD allows you to enjoy richer sound quality than ever before. For this reprint, a new mastering was performed separately for the SACD layer and the CD layer using a master digitized at 96kHz / 24bit from the original master in the home country. It is a permanent storage board.
The first act of Klemperer's "Valkyrie" is a special recording in a sense. I don't know how these choices were made, but the tempo was slow and the singer was burdened by Klemperer's command. I feel a strong will. However, the results of the singers trying to make the best of the situation even in severe situations, the commanding of Klemperer who looked into the whole, and the recording that makes use of the reverberation and space of the church where it is recorded, extremely high quality sound source Was left. Due to the nature of the song, it has never been recurred on the CD so far, but this reprint includes the second piece from the third act of the original, and Wagner 2 with Krista Ludwig recorded in 1962 The song (Brahms: Alto Rhapsody was included at the time of the first appearance) and the famous performance "Siegfried Pastoral" were finally stored. Klemperer has other Wagner recordings on the old EMI, but I think you can experience the rigor and graceful contrast in one album. In addition, the real, sharp but cored sound quality of "Valkyrie" is a sound source suitable for SACD. I think you can enjoy the greatness of Klemperer with your whole body.
