Otto Klemperer, Philharmonia Orchestra - Mendelssohn & Schumann: Symphony No.3 (1960/69) [Japan 2017] SACD ISO + DSD64 + FLAC

Otto Klemperer conducts the Philharmonia and New Philharmonia Orchestras in Felix Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 3 in A minor and Robert Schumann's Symphony No. 3 in E flat major, recorded in 1960 & 1969. This reissue series of classical music masterpieces by Esoteric has attracted a lot of attention, both for its uncompromising commitment to recreating the original master sound. This series marks the first hybrid SACD release of historical recording selections that have been mainstays of the catalog since their initial release.

Otto Klemperer actually spent very little time in the concert hall with the music of Mendelssohn and Schumann; yet the release of these standard-setters proves again that the old codger understood music from a very basic point of view, and though he often applied it as a large blanket across many varied styles, when it hit it hit hard, often to great success, and very often with an interpretative finesse that so many other conductors before or since have lacked.

Technical note:
The criterion of re-mastering is to faithfully capture the quality of the original master. ESOTERIC's flag ship D/A converters, model D-01VU, Rubidium master clock generator model Grandioso G1 and ESOTERIC MEXCEL interconnect cables and power cords, 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 master.
