Newly reissued at 192kHz\/24bit from the original analog master tapes in Japan for this release. New commentary and bilingual lyrics are included. Limited edition of 800 sets with serial numbers.\n\n\n\nTwo Verismo Operas recorded by Muti for the old EMI label are now available on SACD for the first time! Recorded with the Philharmonia Orchestra in 1979 at the end of the analog recording period, this disc features a masterful performance by the young Muti under his control, with a great contrast between slow and fast movements, as well as between stillness and movement. The first recording of \"Cavalleria Rusticana,\" a work in which Muti excels in particular, is a masterpiece of his ability to portray the inner life of the listener and to liberate the listener. This reissue goes back to the original master in the country of origin and has undergone the latest mastering as the final form of the package. The master was digitized at 192kHz\/24bit from the original analog master tapes in the original country for this release, and mastered separately for the SACD and CD layers. New commentary and bilingual lyrics are included. This is a permanent preservation disc.\n\n\n\nThis reissue project has focused on releasing Muti's first opera recording for EMI, \"Aida,\" as well as other orchestral works and digital recordings on SACD. Muti, one of the greatest conductors of our time, has a long recording history and has made many recordings outside of EMI, but his excellent recordings and passionate performances from the heyday of analog recordings in his younger days still shine brightly today.Among them, the two recordings from 1979, which are reissued here, are by a composer from the same country, but they are relatively rare recordings for Muti, who has been focusing on Verdi in Italy (\"Cavalleria rusticana\" was later re-recorded with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. ). The Clown\" is Muti's only session recording to date, made in May-June 1979, and the bright but nuanced and subtle singing of Carreras in both songs is noteworthy, and together with Scott's clear singing, adds to the value of this disc. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a masterpiece that marks the end of the analog recording era, including Muti's energetic conducting. Cavalleria Rusticana\" was recorded in August after \"The Clown\" by the same production team. It is thought that the two works were planned to be released together from the beginning, and although they were recorded in different locations, they were recorded with the same tendency. Both recordings are based on the same approach as Muti's Verdi recordings, which is to eliminate all previous conventions and to emphasize the original music as much as possible. In this sense, these two recordings are important, and can be said to embody Muti's conception of his music. Again, the original analog master tapes in the country of origin were in good condition, making Muti's intentions even clearer in the high sound quality. The latest reissue of these recordings with excellent sound quality is now available for your enjoyment.\n\n(1\/2)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tower Records Definition Series","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51290608271649,"sku":"4943674411191","price":324.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4943674411191.jpg?v=1747719442","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-dk\/products\/4943674411191","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
