The world's first SA-CD of Fricchai's supreme "Hero" driven by his strong will, and the masterpiece "Piano Concerto No. 3" with fellow countryman Annie Fischer, etc.! mastering

Of Beethoven's symphonies recorded by Fricchai on the DG label, "No. 9" (PROC2104) recorded in stereo and "No. 5 & 7" (PROC2194), followed by "No. 3" that decorates the end A series of recordings including this will be reprinted on the SA-CD hybrid board this time. In addition to No. 3 "Hero", "Leonore Overture No. 3", which was originally coupled with "No. 9" when it first appeared, and an overture excerpted from the complete "Fidelio" recorded in 1957 was also recorded. In addition, DISC2 includes the gem "Piano Concerto No. 3", which was co-starred with Annie Fisher from the same hometown, as the original coupling when it first appeared on the LP.

Fricchay's Beethoven at DG recorded with BPO in 1953, which can be said to be the heyday of his American debut (Nos. 1 & 8), and after 1957 (No. 9), when signs of illness appeared, he struggled with illness. However, in October 1958 (No. 3), he was recording until just before he underwent gastric and intestinal surgery, and in 1960, he was about to take a new step as general music director of the Berlin Deutsche Oper, which was scheduled to open the following year. Along with some of his operas, from October (No. 7) to September 1961 (No. 5), the last recording just before he gave up conducting, it is a truly commendable legacy. Up to now, the Vintage +plus series of regular CDs has featured many works other than Beethoven, and has been well received, but with the SA-CD sound source, we were able to confirm Fricchai's musical outlook that went one step further. increase.

Co-starring with Hungarian-born virtuoso pianist Annie Fischer, I was overwhelmed by his lively expressiveness and attention to detail. As with the later evaluation of the complete sonatas, it is a performance with a high concentration and depth of reading of the score, and Fricchay's support is also wonderful. Although it is an early stereo recording in 1957, the three-dimensional piano and the backing orchestra with good visibility are reproduced in an appropriate scale.

In this reprint, we went back to the original analog master tape in the home country and digitized it with high sound quality.
Not only this time, we used the top flat master, so we were able to get a very good presence. The texture and localization are surprisingly clear and clear, and the benefits of DSD are added to reproduce excellent sound quality that has never existed before.
In producing this disc, after performing physical maintenance and restoration of the original analog master tape in the home country, it was digitized (PCM) with high quality (192/24), and in the Emil Berliner Studios, the label's dedicated engineers took the time to master the meticulous process for this series.
On the SA-CD layer, you can enjoy high-definition master sound. The CD layer has also undergone the latest digitization and mastering, making it a clear line from the sound quality of conventional discs.

Thanks a lot
