A note from the producer…
Classics masterpiece collection
The reissue of classical music masterpieces by ESOTERIC has attracted a lot of
attention, both for its uncompromising commitment to recreating the original
master sound, and for using hybrid Super Audio CD (SACD) technology to improve sound quality. This series marks the first
hybrid SACD release of historical recording selections that have been mainstays of the
catalog since their initial release on LP, until the present digital age of CD. These new audio versions feature ESOTERIC’s
proprietary re-mastering process to achieve the highest level of sound quality.
ESOTERIC equipmentused for re-mastering
The criterion of re-mastering is to faithfully capture the quality of the original master
tapes. ESOTERIC’s flag ship D/A converters, model D-01VU, Rubidium
master clock generator model G-0Rb and ESOTERIC MEXCEL cables, were all used for this re-mastering session. This
combination of highly advanced technology greatly contributed to capturing the high
quality sound of the original mastertapes with the performer.
