This is an excellent recording from the golden age of Decca/ Culshaw/ Vienna. Recorded on May 7, 1965 in the Sofiensaal, it was shortly before Decca embarked on the final Ring ...
Yes, there is more than enough evidence to suggest that this label is not a legitimate one.
Go to Discogs and type in IAC Music Japan and take a look at the over 150 releases ...
Given that my CD set cost less than £20 many years back, and given that the set is now on Discogs for just £2.18, this is very interesting indeed. But the cost to bring this ...
This is a great set if you can get it at a good price and don't already own a lot of it. But it's not all high-resolution audio. It all sounds good, but the works originally ...

Released April 28, 2024, as a single disc SACD hybrid in a card sleeve. A bit surprisingly for a Japanese SACD release the disc is made/glass mastered by Sony DADC in Europe.
There is no indication of mastering provenance, and the Phonographic Copyright year is given as 2015. Whilst the Burning Shed UK website states it uses remastered material from 2010.
This edition also includes a "Collectors Edition" booklet as a separate item. This booklet was also used for an earlier 2015 Japanese two-disc SHM-CD release (VSCD4304/5) of the title, albeit with the bonus disk tracks removed from the back of the booklet.
The run times for these two releases are essentially the same - SACD 55.50 v's SHM-CD 55.52
Listened to back-to-back it is difficult to land on any real differences between them. Maybe the SHM-CD is ever so slightly brighter, but there sure isn't much in it.
So certainly, it's worth getting this new SACD version if you don't already have one of the earlier 2009 remastered CD versions. After that though positive differences are likely small.
