A note from producer…

EMI Classic 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 two selections from EMI classics that have

been mainstays of the catalog since their initialrelease on LP, until the present digital age of CD. These new audio versions feature DSD

mastering of the original recordings.

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 master tapes

with the performer.
