Description:

[Sony Classical Masterpieces Collection 1000] These are the masterpieces of classical music that have moved the world for 100 years! 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, odd discs, rare discs, and treasures, including new liner notes and some world/Japan first CD releases, at an astounding 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. The two discs will be released in two installments in 2016. While Rostropovich was known for his boldness, Shafran's brash yet stylish, lustrous and beautiful sound is unparalleled. Although Shafran was not blessed with good recordings, the two pieces here were recorded by RCA when he came to the U.S. The living stereo technology of the time made it possible for Shafran to record the pieces on his own. The living stereo technology of the time captures Shafran's performances with a realistic sound. This is the world's first CD release.ADD|24-bit mastering|World's first CD release ◆Limited Time Limited Edition (until the end of March 2018) / World's first CD release / Liner notes / Recorded: February 25, 1960 / Recorded at: Webster Hall, New York
