In addition to Ravel's piano concerto, which is Michelangeli's favorite work, and Rachmaninoff's No. 4, which are the eternal masterpieces, two unknown masterpieces recorded in 1975, Haydn's piano concerto, are the latest. Reprint. In particular, Ravel, who was at the peak of his technique, is famous as a representative performance of this piece, and is truly a treasured sound source. Haydn is also the best performance that conveys the true value of the song, and the recording is also excellent. Haydn's first SACD. SACD layer and CD layer are mastered separately using masters digitized at 192kHz/24bit from original analog master tapes in Japan. With new commentary. It is a permanent preservation board
Michelangeli's (1920.1.5-1995.6.12) Ravel and Rachmaninoff's No. 4 Concerto has been reissued many times, and SACD has been released (EMI has released SACD single layer, There is also an SACD hybrid board from another label). Not only is it a sound source that represents each song, but it is also famous as one of the few recordings by Michelangelo. Ravel, which he particularly liked, is probably one of his masterpieces. The performance, which was the only session recording and was never re-recorded after that, is truly exquisite, and can be said to be a completed form both technically and musically. On the other hand, Rachmaninoff reigns as the best of this piece, just because he dared to choose it himself. This time, in addition to these two songs, two rare Haydn songs recorded in 1975 were coupled for the second piece. Since there are only four concerto recordings in stereo at EMI, and Haydn has never been made into SACD so far, it is up to us to improve the sound quality. It is no exaggeration to say that Haydn's performance was astonishing and that Michelangeli demonstrated the true value of the piece. It's strange that SACD hasn't been made so far because the sound source shines with the beauty of the piano tone and the quality of the recording, including the skillful touch in the first place. Although the song hasn't been widely known yet (my disciple Argerich also has a recording of No. 11), it's a shame to let it go unnoticed, so please take this opportunity to enjoy it.
