Description
The production quality of this vinyl record is strictly controlled by ESOTERIC without compromise, re-vitalizing the experience and integrity of the original master! This re-master is an ESOTERIC exclusive production and very limited quantities were produced.
- Digitally re-mastered using ESOTERIC equipment *1
- Specially tuned direct lacquer cutting equipment
- No equalizer, no limiter, and no filters used for this cutting process!
- "Master press disc;" providing true original master sound quality *2
- Limited production; 1,000 discs
- 200g heavy weight vinyl *3
- 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 capturingthe high quality sound of the original master tapes.
- This vinyl was directly pressed from the first mold produced by the original Lacquer. The "Mother" copy extraction and its mold do not exist during the production process (two processes shorter than conventional vinyl production); allowing the groove edge to remain sharp on final vinyl. As a result press quantity is extremely limited!!
- All material quality is carefully selected and strictly managed for reduced surface noise.
-
A collaboration work from two of the worlds greatest Mozart admirers - Curzon, a British piano virtuoso and Britten, a composer / conductor, have brilliantly revived original recordings helping to create a newly re-mastered vinyl disc.
A selection of historical masterpiece recordings, re-mastered with cutting edge technologies and with ESOTERIC's respect for music - ESOTERIC vinyl collections take listeners to the "next level" of musical expression.
