Description:
One of Gurda's greatest masterpieces recorded on MPS from 1972 to the following year. The latest reissue reproduces a variety of touches and textures better than ever before! Mastered only in the analog domain and converted directly to DSD! New reissue from the original MPS analog tape in Japan. Excellent recording. This is the world's first SACD release! This is a masterpiece among masterpieces, session-recorded by MPS, a former West German jazz label, from 1972 to the following year. The brilliant technique and rare inspiration of Goulda, who was in his early 40s at the time of recording, have long reigned as the top historical recording of the "law of averages" played on the piano. They have been reissued many times since the LP era, but their sudden revival on the MPS label in 2015 on CD brought back their fresh, crisp tone and made a huge impact on fans and non-fans alike. This latest reissue is not only the first SACD, but it is also a permanent reissue with the original jacket design. The MPS label was sold to Polygram in 1983, and in the CD era was reissued on the PHILIPS label, but in 2014 it was transferred to the Edel Group, which owns Berlin Classics and other labels.Later, in June 2015, the aforementioned CD was reissued from the original analog master tapes stored at MPS, and as you know, it was quite popular at the time. Although no longer available, this reissue uses the original analog master tapes from MPS and was mastered by the renowned engineer Christoph Stickel, just as we have done with previous Berlin Classics reissues. The mastering was done with the utmost care to preserve the best possible sound quality in the package, so you can enjoy Gulda's performance with more precision and density than ever before. The piano tone has a heavy weight to it, and the sound is more natural and easier to listen to than ever before. The more you listen to this superb masterpiece, the more deeply you will appreciate it, and it has been beautifully revived in high sound quality. (1/2)
