This Single-Layer SHM-SACD can only be played on a Super Audio CD Player!
SHM-SACD (Super High Material SACD) is the ultimate Super Audio CD 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 SACD.
Une Symphonie Imaginaire is MinkowskiÂ’s own collection of 17 orchestral pieces from 11 of RameauÂ’s operas, compiled into a dramatic cycle that represents both the world of French Baroque dance music and the origins of French symphonic music. What emerges is a programme that is as dramatic as it is delightful and easily accessible! With this recording the musical universe of Rameau is captured in an entirely new programme concept by one of the most popular interpreters of French Baroque music.
Marc Minkowski has collected about 20 orchestral pieces from 11 of RameauÂ’s operas and has put them together into a dramatic cycle that represents both the world of French Baroque dance music and the origins of French symphonic music.
MinkowskiÂ’s earlier recordings of music by Rameau, also with his Musiciens du Louvre, have received numerous criticsÂ’ prizes including two Diapasons dÂ’or and the Record Academy Prize of Tokyo.
"There was no puzzling, religious world-view to get in the way of a suite of Rameau's most delectable dances compiled by Minkowski. Here you could just enjoy the parade of colours and rhythms, played with amazing vividness and sparkling virtuosity." - Daily Telegraph (London), 2003
