I bought this earlier this month in Hong Kong - it is labelled as a Chandos Classics release, no mention of Obsession. (P) date is 1966 (C) date is 2003, country of origin is ...
Glad to see BIS is still doing massive boxed sets. I hope BIS boxes up Spanyi's 59-volume CPE Bach integrale of keyboard solos and concertos - many years have passed since BIS ...
I have not listened to this yet and I do generally like Mälkki. She may be a more "lyrical" conductor than some. I recently listened to her recording of Bartók's Concerto ...
Ivan Fischer's Beethoven 6 was one of the finest Beethoven performances of the modern era. "Eroica" is a far more complex work and it will be interesting to see what he makes ...
Regarding Spanyi's CPE Bach concerto cycle, the final 20th volume was released in 2014. I own the complete cycle and enjoy listening to these lovely concertos. As far as I ...
This conductors extraordinary affinity with ballet music is undiminished and it is a joy to hear the Shchedrin in hi-res sound. These performances suggest it would be quite ...

Taken from the Tower Records (Japan) machine translated description for this title:
"- Sound Supervisor: Masayoshi Okawa (Music Producer and Recording Engineer) ● Mastering Engineer: Kazushige Yamazaki (Victor Studio FLAIR Engineer) ● New mastering from the label-owned original master for this release
The latest remastering from the original analog master tape. The SACD layer uses sacd master (DSD) faithfully converted from the original analog master.
The CD layer also uses a PCM master that converts digital data converted from the original analog master to the DSD: • Modern remastering using a 96kHz/24bit base master digitized analog cutting master.
There is also a clear specification in the liner, but the fifth song "Great Wall" is an arrangement of cutouts (cut out after 2 minutes, the sixth song begins). Please understand in advance."
Sounds great too. Very clear, clean and well balanced. The cutout issue took me by surprise though - I momentarily wondered if the disk had skipped.
Very well worth getting, particularly if 'new age' type music is your thing.........though Kitaro has much more personality than the standard fare in this genre.
