The "Audio Masterpiece Collection: Classical Edition" Series 2 Comes to a Close!
Stereo Sound's "Audio Masterpiece Collection: Classical Edition" features classic performances and recordings released as "Single-Layer SACD+CD" sets, digitally remastered via flat transfer from the original analog master tapes in their home countries. The second series (comprising eight titles), which began in the fall of 2018, has finally come to a close. This fourth installment features one title each from Mercury Records and Decca Records.


Single-Layer SACD + CD Format
As with the first series, each disc contains the same performance on both a single-layer SACD and a CD. However, for each disc, the SACD has been directly converted to DSD (the SACD recording format) from the analog master, and the CD has been directly converted to PCM (the CD recording format) from the analog master. This ensures you can fully enjoy the unique characteristics and potential of each disc's respective format.

Digital Transfer Work at Classic Sound Ltd UK
The digitalization from analog tape was handled by Jonathan Stokes and Neil Hutchinson, engineers at Classic Sound Ltd UK who previously worked at Decca. At the request of Stereo Sound, these two veteran engineers performed the digitization using a flat transfer method from the analog master tapes, avoiding the use of compressors or other processing. As a result, while hiss and dropouts present on the master tapes remain, the sound of the master tapes-which were previously accessible only to a select few-has been captured as faithfully as possible on two types of digital discs (SACD and CD) .

This product is a digital transfer of the original analog master tape, with virtually no processing applied. Therefore, as a general rule, we have not applied any equalization to make the sound easier to listen to, nor have we performed any correction processes such as cutting noise or dropouts caused by the master tape-let alone cutting the ultra-low frequencies. This approach is based on our product concept of delivering the sound of the master tape-which was previously accessible only to a limited number of production staff-as faithfully as possible to the audio file.
