Rosenthal/Gaite Parisienne

This disc, recorded as long ago as 1954 and 1956, is a total success as a remastering. The advantages are greater tonal warmth and depth of field and well as enhanced clarity. The previous version was notably good so this further improvement is quite remarkable.The performances themselves are full of verve and considerable orchestral virtuosity. Fiedler extracts from his enthusiastic musicians playing of almost relentless energy and good humour. This is, of course what is written in the Offenbach particularly, but the Rossini can have more light and shade to give dynamic variety at the very least as other conductors have shown. However none can match Fiedler and his orchestra for all the virtues previously listed as above. Of the various recordings that I have owned in the past this is still the most rewarding by some distance. This is a short review because there is very little to add!In summary therefore, I would suggest that this disc certainly deserves to be considered as a front runner in any list of recordings to be considered by anyone interested in the program. Also those wishing to upgrade their previous version may do so with confidence.

Very nice recording from the 1950s in stereo only on this living stereo S.A.C.D DISC a lively selection of music showing how good recordings can sound from this time. This was recorded in two channel only so is only in stereo but the sound is natural not like some remixing of later classical recordings highly recommended.

Great

This is sold as a DSD disc. However, the recording was made in the 1950's, and so the reproduction is a perfect facsimilie of the sound of that time. If you love the characteristics of the old 78's and '50's technology, you'll love it. Personally, i think the sound is dreadful.

The sound on these recordings from 1954 is stunning -- most modern record companies could learn a thing or two about natural sound from this SACD

People say they love music but typically they love one form of music. This album is for those who love music, all forms of music (okay, maybe not rap). I was watching a YouTube review of audiophile albums and this one came up. I've never heard of it before, considering there are millions or recordings that's no big deal, but it intrigued me. I saw it was available on Amazon on CD for a good price so I snagged it up. It is as the reviewers say, an audiophile album. The sound quality is truly outstanding. The music style is unique to say the least. It's not classical and it's not show tunes but it's somewhere in between. It's very upbeat and very happy. It might take a couple listens to get used to it but I think most people who love music will end up enjoying it. For a very small amount of money I found this to be a great album for my collection. It's kind of like polka music , you don't listen to it every day but when you listen to it it makes you happy. This album will chase the clouds away. And if the cover offends you do as I do, record it to MP3 or flac and throw away the jewel case and the cover.Highly recommended

What a performance - nothing in the last 30 years equals or surpasses it. Would recommend highly to a friend.

Ich schließe mich hier meinem Vorrezensent an.Sämtliche Stücke Offenbachs auf dieser 2 Kanal Hybrid Super Audio CD, sind gar nicht im Sinne Offenbachs instrumentiert.Nun denn, Meistro Ravel, hat ja auch so einiges grob nach seinem Gutdünken "instrumentiert"Ist halt reine Geschmackssache, Offenbach einmal anders zu höheren.Rossinis Can-Can finde ich, ist Superklasse verpackt in pompöse Spektakel-Instrumentierung oder Bigband Kawumm aller Erich Kunzel (anders kann man das nicht beschreiben) .Zugegeben nicht jedermanns geschmack, mir gefällt es.Aber: Es kommt darauf an, ob man die moderne Bearbeitungen alter Werke gerne hört, oder nicht.Diese Aufnahme hat einen angemessenen Schwung.Der Klang ist bemerkenswert und angenehm.Boston Pops Orchestra unter Arthur FiedlerAufgenommen 1954 und 1956 in der Symphony Hall BostonKaum zu glauben, das man damals mit 2 Mikrofonen in 2 Kanal Technik solch Klasse Aufnamen machen konnte.Damals waren die Aufnahmetechniker noch richtige Meister ihrer Zunft.Sehr guter Räumlicher Breitwand Sound, der sich auch noch links neben dem linken Lautsprecher bzw. rechts neben dem rechten Lautsprecher weiter aufzoomt, ohne dass in der Mitte ein Loch entsteht.Die CD steht der SACD vom Klangbild nicht nach, denn hier wurde das selbe Master verwendet.Wer die die Super Audio CD über 3 gleichwertige Frontlautsprecher wiedergibt, wird wird mit eine sehr Räumlichen Breitwand Sound belohnt, bei dem jedes Instrument exakt kostbar ist.Das anhören über Kopfhöhrer (erst recht mit einem analytischen) sollte man dann doch lieber lassen, denn dann tritt man die Rückreise in die vor Stereo Zeit "HiFi" an.

Dos muestras de la música clásica más entretenedora con unas grabaciones de una calidad excepcional.Una audición de lo más agradable y una excelente presentación

ボストン・ポップス・オーケストラは1885年に創立され、今日盛んに行われているポップス・オーケストラ演奏の元祖的存在で、特にアーサー・フィドラーは1930年から1979年に指揮をとり、ステレオ・オーディオの黎明期に多くの録音を残しています。私はステレオ・LP時代に聴いていましたが、今日ではSACD/CD hybrid盤が簡単に手に入るようになり、幾つかを買い直しました。　このアルバムは硬軟織り交ぜた楽しい曲を次々に聴くことができ、生オーケストラ演奏付きのバレーを見にいっているように感じます。メリハリのきいた聴き映えする音楽を楽しめます。テープ・ヒスは柔らかく分散された高い品質を感じさせるもので、レベルも聞き耳を立てて聴かなければ聞こえないほど良好にデジタル・リマスタリングされています。
