Description: Description Willem Mengelberg Beethoven Symphonies Fidelio 5 CD TOWER RECORDS JAPAN Product introduction The legendary Mengelberg Beethoven has improved the sound quality and is now revived! The latest digitization from the analog master released in 1977.Mengelberg's Beethoven is a great heritage that is still touted as a treasure trove of classical music, even though it was performed about 75 years ago. As Beethoven's performance gradually changed from around the 1970s, Mengelberg's series of 1940s, although various sound sources are now on the market, especially regarding the history of performance before and during the war. Live is more than just a transient record, it's clearly an important style that existed and took root at the time. Many people may miss it, but if young people and performers who have never listened to this performance listen to it now, they may be inspired by it. Their Beethoven, who had established such a solid style, is by no means old and will surely bring new excitement. These recordings were recorded as broadcast recordings (live) except for No. 3, and were released as LPs alone in the 1960s. After that, as a project 150 years after Beethoven's death in 1977, it was compiled as a complete symphony by adding the missing No. 3 Telefunken sound source (No. 3 was also recorded live but some movements were recorded. Is said to have failed). The master used this time is the analog master that was used when it was released on LP in 1977 (currently owned by Universal in the home country), and has been used on imported CDs overseas and domestic editions so far. It seems that the master and the original are the same, but the effect of the new digitization by this high bit high mastering (192kHz, 24bit) is enormous, and although there are differences depending on the song, the clarity increases and it becomes more clear. Since certain noises have been reduced, the performance will be more realistic as if you were listening closer. This allows you to enjoy the whole picture of Beethoven's performance that Mengelberg aimed for more than ever before. Mengelberg is also known for his thorough rehearsals, and it seems that he was aiming for music that was not dominated by improvisation or excitement. Even in this Beethoven performance, the careful tempo setting, skillful strength and weakness and the effect of agogic make you think that this combination is unique. Often symbolized by rich romanticism, extreme portamento and ritardando, these performances, which transcend the old and new styles, are constructed with a solid stack of elements and are brilliantly crafted. You can listen to Beethoven. In the commentary, a new preface commentary by Mr. Nobuiku Mitsuoka has been posted. The clear commentary is good enough to read.Also, in this reprint, the sound of the performance venue before the start of the performance and between movements has been restored as much as possible. The atmosphere of those days left on the analog tape is more conveyed. The famous sound of Mengelberg hitting the podium with a baton is also recorded in some parts, and the sound quality has improved, which makes the concert itself more realistic. We aimed to be the definitive board for reprinting the CD.Work informationMaineConductor: Willem MengelbergOrchestra: Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra OtherComposer: Ludwig van Beethoven Contents Number of components | 5 sheets recorded musicLudwig van Beethoven:
