Description: Description Johannes Brahms THE FOUR SYMPHONIES George Szell THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA Product introduction ~The extreme point of the 20th century orchestra performance reached by the master cell and the Cleveland Orchestra. Includes Bra 1 recorded in 1957 (EPIC) as a special recording! The world's first SA-CD! ■ "Highly classy, highlighting the classicism of Brahms" All 4 Brahms symphonies and 3 orchestral pieces recorded from 1964 to 1967, when George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra were literally at their peak. After recording Symphony No. 3 and Haydn Variations in 1964, the rest of the work was recorded in one fell swoop in the 1966/67 season. Reflecting Sel's strict and accurate musical outlook, the high tone is maintained throughout, and the classicism of Brahms is highlighted without revealing subjective feelings. What's more, the details are amazing, and the balance between every phrase, rhythm, and part is perfectly controlled, and it's a spectacular sight to have acquired a transparent sound and a three-dimensional and logical construction. The personality of each work is clearly drawn, and among the many masterpieces of this song, the sound of No. 4, which seems to be far from the clear character of Cell, is exceptional among the many masterpieces of this song. It can be said that the taste of The enhancement and revision of the cell-like orchestral parts is also a "craftsmanship" unique to a conductor born in the 19th century, and here is one of the extremes of the 20th century orchestra performance art that can never be reproduced. ■Symphony No. 1, which was recorded in stereo in March 1957 and released on the EPIC label as a special recording, is included on DISC4. 1957 was the year when the Columbia label started full-scale stereo recording, and although it was an EPIC label, Colombian staff were in charge of recording, and it has an important meaning as Columbia's earliest stereo recording. Although it was the earliest stereo recording known for the catchphrase STEREORAMA advocated by the EPIC label, it fully captures the characteristics of the performance of the Cell & Cleveland tube, which had already been established at this point. It is also possible to compare the acoustics of Severance Hall before its renovation in 1958 with the 1966 re-recording. ■ All three-channel original analog masters, which have been strictly stored in Sony Music's tape archives since the recording, were brought out to an external studio and played back in perfect condition, and are now on sale. By performing a new remix to 2 channels and DSD remastering for this purpose, the overwhelming brilliance engraved in the original sound is revived with unprecedented clarity.Work information Main Conductor: George Szell Orchestra: Cleveland Orchestra Others Composer: Johannes BrahmsContents Number of components | 4 sheets Total recording time | 04:07:09 Track Listing: Johannes Brahms DISC1 1.
