Remaking the past

There can be little denying that the quality of classical cds not least from analogue tape masters has improved from those early days when I first started buying them and so I have been replacing a few over the years not least when it is the case the recording may not be available on Super Audio cd.

Take this for instance, a classic performance originally issued in 1987 on cd which was reissued briefly in the late 1990's in 2 cd series newly remastered but currently unavailable which I wanted to replace.

That's where that box set that's just came out comes in because it takes in this recording with the Beethoven violin concerto from that 1990's issue and adds some solo Bach and various composer recital disc also issued on a 2 cd set all using those better remastered versions.

The discs are in card inners which for once are wide so little chance of scuffing and comes with booklet.

It is a pity the original front album art was not used on each disc but for the modest price asked this is ideal for not only replacing that 1987 cd but adding more recordings by this highly talents violinist to my collection.
