Accardo Paganini Diabolus In Musica SHM-XRCD

Salvatore Accardo is an outstanding Italian violin virtuoso, best known as a master of these works of Niccolo Paganini. He studied violin in the southern Italian city of Naples in the 1950s and gave his first professional recital at the age of 13, performing Paganini's Capricci. He won the Geneva Competition in 1956, and in 1958 became the first prize winner of the Paganini Competition in Genoa.

Conductor Charles Dutoit and the London Philharmonic Orchestra give a splendid, warm performance without overwhelming Accardo's playing.

SHM-XRCD (Super High Material XRCD) is the ultimate XRCD that utilizes the materials and technologies that were developed for the SHM-CD to further enhance the audio-resolution. These discs are made with polycarbonate developed for the screen of the liquid crystal display. As it has a higher transparency, players can read the signal more faithfully. Also, it excels in fluidity, which enables you to cast a more accurate pit. What works wonders for a low resolution format such as CD should offer even greater sonic improvements in a real high resolution format such as XRCD.

Why XRCD? Besides being the world's foremost CD manufacturing technology, XRCD ensures no loss of information through mastering in a 24bit domain and direct conversion to 16bit master disc production. Listen and hear the difference!
