Rudolf Barshai Shostakovich Symphonies 9 SACD Hybrid TOWER RECORDS

Description: * Description The classic, one of Balshai's best-selling albums, has finally been released on SACD! A superb performance that gets to the heart of Shostakovich! This new release has been newly remastered from the original master tapes recorded on U-Matic tape at the label's studio for this release! This complete set, which was originally recorded with excellent sound quality, has been reborn as a SACD with even higher sound quality! The increased capacity and careful mastering by Christoph Stickel will further enhance the reputation of this disc. Please note that the 11-disc set of the original CDs has been reduced to 9 discs for this SACD hybrid disc. Rudolf Barshai (1925-2010) recorded all 15 of Shostakovich's symphonies with the Cologne Radio Symphony Orchestra between 1992 and 2000, and these recordings have continued to sell extremely well since their release. Not only was Barshai the first performer of the 14th Symphony, but also the demand for orchestral works from the former Soviet Union, including Shostakovich, increased in the 1990s after the thaw, and at a time when the Mahler boom was continuing and there was a high demand for large orchestral works, there was no way that this complete set of recordings, which were of a high standard and had excellent sound recordings, would not sell well. In addition, the fact that the recordings were made by a single orchestra in the West, and that there was little variation in the quality of the individual pieces, as well as the high functionality of the Cologne Radio Symphony Orchestra, and above all the fact that the sound recordings of Barshai himself, who had defected to the West, were extremely rare at the time, are thought to have had an impact. The interpretations of each piece are highly regarded, and the high precision of the orchestra in response to them, as well as the excellence of the recordings, which capture this simplicity, are also notable elements. Originally, the recordings were planned by the Cologne Radio and Orchestra, and started with No. 7 in 1992, and 12 pieces were recorded, but Barshai recorded the next three pieces, No. 13 to 15, at his own expense between 2000 and 2001, and the complete set of 15 pieces was completed.
