A note from the producer…

Classics masterpiece collection

The reissue of classical music masterpieces by ESOTERIC has attracted a lot of

attention, both for its uncompromising commitment to recreating the original

master sound, and for using hybrid Super Audio CD (SACD) technology to improve sound quality. This series marks the first

hybrid SACD release of historical recording selections that have been mainstays of the

catalog since their initial release on LP, until the present digital age of CD. These new audio versions feature ESOTERIC’s

proprietary re-mastering process to achieve the highest level of sound quality.

ESOTERIC equipmentused for re-mastering

The criterion of re-mastering is to faithfully capture the quality of the original master

tapes. ESOTERIC’s flag ship D/A converters, model D-01VU, Rubidium

master clock generator model G-0Rb and ESOTERIC MEXCEL cables, were all used for this re-mastering session. This

combination of highly advanced technology greatly contributed to capturing the high

quality sound of the original mastertapes with the performer.
