A new coupling of two orchestral songs, including "Okecon", one of Anchel's representative albums, and "Hageyama no Ichiya". A highly detailed yet easy-to-understand performance with a unique warmth and tension spreads out in front of you with high-quality sound. For this reprint, we mastered a new direct DSD sound source from the original analog master tape in our home country.
At that time, it is no exaggeration to say that Bartók was as good as the West Yokozuna recording, RCA's Liner & Chicago Symphony Board, and it can be said that it is a masterpiece that maximizes the charm of this song. It is one of the masterpieces representing the golden age of the Czech Philharmonic since Talich, and the ability of the Czech Philharmonic at that time and the sensibility of Ancerl are a perfect match. The recording of Supraphone that captures them is also splendid. The speed of the development switching, the unified and homogeneous sound, and the sharp performance of each instrument group have a charm that will remain in posterity. It has a woody sound and warmth, and the localization of each instrument, the heat of the recording venue, and the richness of the indirect sounds make this reissue perfect for SACD. . I think that a new evaluation will be born for this board.
The third track, "A Night on Bald Mountain", which was recorded at the same time as "Pictures at an Exhibition (TWSA1054)" released in the previous 3rd edition, was released in 1968, an important year for Anchel and the Czech Philharmonic. Recorded in June. It is the final recording of this combination and is a valuable sound source. The performance is mainly based on realistic expressions typical of Anchel, which does not make you feel the urgency of the situation at the time. Also, the second song, "Hussite", is their ideal performance, and it can be said that it is a Supraphon-like recording.
The recording has further refined the warm sound that is unique to the Supraphone, with its glossy highs, and the overtones and the presence of the instrument have increased, and you can enjoy the sound with good visibility down to the details. The sound of the Supraphone label, which originally had a good texture, will demonstrate its true value even more with the latest DSD conversion. In addition to the united tone of the violin part, the distinctive sounds of the woodwinds and brass at that time are still wonderful to listen to today. Indirect sounds are also rich.
