Description: Description Paavo Berglund Smetana Ma vlast SACD Hybrid TOWER RECORDS JAPANProduct introductionA hidden masterpiece. Berglund & Staatskapelle Dresden's extremely passionate "My Motherland" is revived in the world's first SACD! Newly reprinted from the home country analog master tape. With new Japanese commentaryA hidden masterpiece by Berglund, whose recordings in Eastern Europe are rare. This album, recorded with SKD in 1978, is an extremely passionate "my motherland" that is different from the kind of cool-headed perfection shown in Sibelius. Overlapping with the heyday of the orchestra, this recording that collects the essence of the performance art of the time is full of highlights. This advanced performance, which is a waste to be buried, is one of the achievements of "record art". In addition, since the jacket is adopted at the time of first appearance, songs other than the recorded songs are also displayed, but please understand. For this release, we used masters digitized at 192kHz/24bit from the original analog master tapes in Japan, and mastered separately the SACD layer and the CD layer. With new Japanese commentary. It is a permanent preservation board.Originally, this Berglund sound source was an album planned for 2022, 10 years after his death. Recordings of Eastern Europe by Berglund, who is also a Sibelius specialist, are rare, and it seems that there are only a few songs that were originally coupled with this "My Motherland" when it first appeared. Also, at the time of this 1978 recording, he was the music director of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra (1972-79), and was also the chief conductor of the Helsinki Philharmonic (1975-79). Recordings with other orchestras are rare, and these are the only session recordings with Staatskapelle Dresden. However, among the many recordings of this masterpiece, there have not been many opportunities for this performance to be featured. The recordings that Berglund put into the former EMI are actually diverse, including British music and many Russian ones. It's not necessarily the cold-bloodedly perfect performance that Sibelius shows, but in a sense Berglund's characteristic is that it makes you feel the depth of humanity. Shostakovich is a good example of this. In fact, there are not many performances that sharply pierce the essence of the music after taking a bird's-eye view of the inner world. Symphony No. 8 (SBT21500) and so on. In addition to these, this "Waga Motherland" is characterized by the fact that it is a passionate performance, and rather than just leaving it to the orchestra's spontaneity, it is the essence of performance art that aims to go further after riding on the rails of each other. It can be said that it is a collection of recordings. Of course, it goes without saying that Staatskapelle Dresden plays a big role. In addition, Dresden is geographically very close to the Czech Republic (the distance between Dresden and Prague is about 150km and the required time is about 1.5 hours. It is almost the same distance as Karuizawa from Tokyo), and the echoes of the former Eastern European bloc and the cultural sphere. The point that I can feel commonality is also working positively.In this series, the SACD layer aims for high resolution and a rich sound field with extended high frequencies and soft nuances, while the CD layer aims for a solid and solid sound with a sense of reality. The potential of the CD itself is also high, so please enjoy it as an SACD hybrid board where you can enjoy the goodness of both. In addition, I posted a new sentence by Yu Nishimura in the Japanese commentary.
