Description:

[Reiji Asakura Selection SA-CD to SHM Masterpieces 50] The SA-CD to SHM specification series has been released since 2010. From the approximately 200 titles that have been released in paper jackets, audio/visual critic Reiji Asakura has carefully selected 50 titles. The single-layer, green-label discs have been retained, but the case has been changed to a standard case and the price has been reduced to a reasonable level. Please take this opportunity to try the "sound of another dimension. After winning the Chopin Competition, Polini took a break from performing, and then resumed his recording activities. The Chopin Etudes, performed with perfect technique and high musicality, astonished many people and made Pollini's existence known to the world. The DSD masters produced in 2012 at Emil Berliner Studios in Germany were used from the original DG analog masters.
