From Casals to Midori Goto, Sony Music's two major classical labels, Sony Classical and RCA RED SEAL, have a wide variety of classical masterpieces, classic discs, super discs, fixed discs, lost discs, strange discs, rare discs, and treasures, including new liner notes and some world/Japan first CD releases, at an astonishing price! The series of two separate releases for 1,000 yen + tax (1,500 yen + tax for the 2-disc set) will continue in 2016. ◇Tilson Thomas (MTT) made his conducting debut in 1969 when he was in his 20s, and this is a masterpiece representing the early years of his career. MTT, who has been renowned for his smart and crisp music making since his debut, is in full force in this "Carmina" as well. The overwhelming dynamism, ever-changing tempo, and vivid colors of "Carmina" are a far cry from the "heavy" German style of performance, and the young MTT is in his element in this highly entertaining performance. ◆Time Limited Edition (through the end of March 2018) / Liner notes / Recording dates: August 5, 6, 1974 and September 4, 1974 / Locations: Cleveland, Masonic Auditorium, 30th Street Studios, New York, New York
