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. This is a great opportunity to try the "sound of another dimension. From the beginning of his career to the present, Ashkenazy has been passionate about Rachmaninoff and has produced many masterpieces. This is a coupling of his first Third Concerto from 1963 (age 26), the year after he won the Tchaikovsky Competition, and his Second Sonata from 1977 (age 40), using DSD masters produced by Classic Sound in the UK in 2012 from the original DECCA analog masters.
