BACH - ORCHESTRAL SUITES NO. 1 AND 2 - KARL RICHTER (LIMITED EDITON JAPANESE IMPORT SHM-SACD)

Bach Orchestral Suites No. 1 And 2 - Karl Richter on Limited Edition Japanese Import SHM-SACD

Another technological breakthrough from Japan! These new, Japanese SHM-SACD (Super High Material SACD) pressings utilize a special polycarbonate layer over super-defined SACD pits for better transparency and read-accuracy. Originally developed for LCD panels, the SHM technology was found to reduce read-errors on discs and thus incorporated into these special discs. SHM-SACDs are also manufactured with more clearly defined pits for better tracking and less resultant jitter. In addition, the label side of all SHM-SACDs is coated with a special green ink designed to decrease laser refraction. And rest assured: These discs are mastered from the best sources available in Japan and will utterly amaze you with their transparency, dynamics, and lifelike presentation. SHM-SACDs require an SACD player and cannot be played in a standard CD player.

Karl Richter's Bach is unique in that, while "old-fashioned," it has a bounce and passion which escapes most of the "authentic period" performances which are in vogue in certain circles. With Richter, one appreciates the striking sound of the brass in Bach's Suites, particularly as juxtaposed against the tympani.
