Eric Heidsieck Mozart Piano Concertos 3 SACD Hybrid TOWER RECORDS JAPAN

Product introduction

A masterpiece by Heidschek in his youth is revived in grand style! The world's first SACD version of a famous performance that perfectly harmonizes freedom and melody. No. 24 is back since LP! Commemorating the 50th anniversary of his arrival in Japan

SACD hybrid version of Erik Heidschek's "Mozart: Piano Concertos" in his young days, which not only never fades even among the huge number of Mozart recordings, but also continues to be supported by many people. It will be released as a set of 3. This year (2018), when the program including part of No. 21 will be held in Japan, we will make a set of 6 songs for the former EMI, which is the early stage of the activity, and reproduce it in a limited number. Of the 6 songs, especially 4 of the stereo sound sources, it is a rare recording that has many enthusiastic fans who still want this performance. Recording of these sound sources started from No. 24 in December 1957, and No. 21 was also recorded at the same time. After that, in June 1960, No. 20 and No. 23 were recorded, and one year later, No. 25 and finally No. 27 were recorded by French EMI at that time in September 1961.

Heidschek (1936-), one of Cortot's (1877-1962) favorite disciples, was only 21 at the time of his first recording. He graduated from the Conservatory of Music in Paris in 1954 and made his debut in France the following year. His ability was recognized early in his Paris, and in 1960 he made his American debut. Perhaps because the first two songs were monaural recordings, their reprints were delayed in the CD era (No. 21 was released on CD for the first time in January 2006 as a planning board for Tower et al., No. 24 is this CD), four stereo recordings are one of the representative performances of these songs, and many of them have been reprinted on low-priced editions, and have penetrated many listeners. Although Mozart's performances do not generally have a pattern, Heidschek's piano moves around freely and improvises and thrills in a good way. On the other hand, the flexibility of the sound and the stylish expression are genius, and the performance is emotional, but the subtle nerves are permeated, and the miraculous performance is one of the reasons why it continues to be supported. prize. And what must not be forgotten is the careful accompaniment by the Paris Conservatoire Orchestra and Van der Noord in the background, and without this combination, it cannot be called a masterpiece. There is no expression of emotion, and you can get a glimpse of the firm determination to support this young pianist from the bottom of his heart.

These sound sources, which were session-recorded at Sal Wagram, are recordings where you can fully feel the tone of the orchestra at that time, especially the tone of the woodwind instrument. The delicate touch of Heidschek, the contrast with the back, and the detailed expression by Vandernaught have reached a level that can be enjoyed more in this reprint, which has become more fresh. On the SACD layer, you can enjoy the performance of this century with even higher resolution. For this reprint, we used a master digitized at 96kHz/24bit from the original master in our country, and newly mastered the SACD layer and CD layer separately. It is a permanent preservation board.

In addition, this time, the commentary by Mr. Koyoshi Uno, who was a central follower of Heidsheck, which has been posted before, is revived, and the preface by Mr. Hiro Aiba is newly posted. Heidsheck's commentary based on the present is also noteworthy. In this series, the SACD layer aims for high resolution and a rich sound field with extended high frequencies and soft nuances, while the CD layer aims for a solid and solid sound with a sense of reality. The potential of the CD itself is also high, so please enjoy it as an SACD hybrid board where you can enjoy the goodness of both.
