FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE COMPLETE INTEGRAL OF HER REMASTERED STUDIO RECORDINGS AT ABBEY ROAD IN 96 KHZ\/24 BIT FROM THE ORIGINAL SOURCES. Luxury box set in limited edition 69CD, 1CD Rom, 1 book of 132 pages \"I am amazed, astounded... This new mastering is a revelation! I am practically in tears listening to Casta diva.\" Roger Gooch, sound engineer who participated in many of Callas's recordings. Although she passed away in September 1977 in Paris at the age of fifty-three, Maria Callas still embodies today the supreme icon of opera: unparalleled tragic heroine, celebrity, woman of style and elegance, in short, the quintessence of the Diva. A legendary artist who reinvented the genre of opera, she remains at the top of global record sales. This luxury box set of 69 CDs brings together all her studio recordings made between 1949 and 1969, for EMI\/Columbia and the Cetra label. They benefited from meticulous restoration in 24-bit\/96kHz, carried out by Abbey Road Studios over more than a year, from the original sources. Presented with particular care, this box set gathers the twenty-six complete operas as well as the thirteen recitals recorded by Maria Callas, also available as separate references. With the release of \"CALLAS REMASTERED: The Complete Studio Recordings,\" you will be able to hear her like never before! Robert Gooch, the famous sound engineer who had worked with Callas on several of her records, rediscovered, upon listening to the new remasterings, his impressions from back then: \"I am amazed, completely astounded... This new mastering is a revelation! I am practically in tears listening to Casta diva.\" He heard Maria Callas again like never before in over fifty years. The best way to explain this high-definition remastering is to compare it to a digital camera and the difference between a 12-megapixel camera and a 1-megapixel camera. Example of a cymbal crash: until now, it had not been possible to reproduce these frequencies, because they were beyond the sampling frequency of a CD (44.1 kHz and 16 bits). With high definition (96 kHz and 24 bits), we expand the spectrum and give it more detail than ever. Thus, we hear this supersonic cymbal crash as if we were in the studio at the time of the recording. \"With high definition, we discover sounds that have only been heard until now by people who either attended Callas's recording sessions or had access to the master tape,\" explains Allan Ramsay, one of the engineers in charge of the remastering. \"Digital software has become so sophisticated that we are able to solve problems that were still unsolvable just a few years ago. The listener will experience sound as close to the moment of the recording as possible.\" Designed as an authentic \"Collector's Edition,\" CALLAS REMASTERED presents each recording with its original cover. It also contains a bound book of 132 pages, which includes numerous articles, a biography, a timeline of the artist's life, exceptional photographs, as well as letters from Maria Callas herself, producer Walter Legge, or other EMI officials. The complete booklets of the operas as well as the texts of the arias for the recitals are available in full and in 4 languages on a CD-ROM.","brand":"Maria Callas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57741641548120,"sku":null,"price":20151023.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0825646339914.jpg?v=1784448802","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/maria-callas_intasgrale-remasterisase-2014_2015_war","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
