Product Description

Phase Four Stereo Concert Series - A comprehensive 40-CD (limited edition) overview of some of the most sonically-spectacular albums ever made! - Phase 4 stereo was created in 1961 as an American subsidiary of Decca, and steered to success by New Yorker Tony DAmato a man who had the amazing ability to attract the greatest artists of the 1960s and 1970s to the label. - The cream of orchestral players gathered to make the recordings, among them the principals from the leading orchestras of the day. - Phase 4 became quickly known for it's characteristic sound: warm, rich and clean, and expanded the scope and spectrum of recorded sound. Using Deccas pioneering 20-channel mixing desk, the label aimed to deliver an immediacy of sound to give listeners an unrivaled listening experience through state-of-the-art recordings, and produced recordings with an unprecedented sense of spatial realism and movement. - A stereophonic plethora of repertoire of pure nostalgia is included in this set. Phase 4 was one of the leading purveyors of what was known as, nice-n-easy repertoire. This 40-CD set comprising 50 original albums is representative of the variety of the lighter vein of music Phase 4 recorded. Everything from the exotic percussion of Latin music to TV themes and spectacular film scores. This set is a rich and rewarding treasure-trove of music waiting to be rediscovered.

収録時間が1枚30分そこそこのものもあれば...

投稿日:2017/05/08 (月)

収録時間が1枚30分そこそこのものもあれば、80分超えもある。私としては、全て2LPを1CDに収録したもので徳用にして頂きかった。当時のLPを中古で集めていたが、聞きこまれたのか、重い針圧のカートリッジで聞かれたのか擦り切れ盤が多かったのでCDは歓迎。既CD化されているものと同じ傾向で、比較的新しい録音のものはキンキンする傾向にあるけれど、当時としては驚くべき高音質盤だった面々である。LCRの3点定位が良くも悪くもこのシリーズの特徴なのだが、個人的には、スタンリー・ブラックのオーケストラ物と、テッド・ヒースのビッグバンド・スイング物に惹かれる。しかし、今では考えられない生楽器による贅沢なアレンジ、良き時代だったのですね。今はムード・ミュージックとか、イージー・リスニングなどと言う言葉も死語になりつつ世の中になってしまいました。 折々に引っ張り出して豪快に鳴らして、ストレス解消に役立つセットです。

チョイスに疑問あり。ロニー・アルドリッチ...

投稿日:2017/02/27 (月)

チョイスに疑問あり。ロニー・アルドリッチはたしかにフェイズ4の看板ではあったが、LP11枚分は多すぎ。基本アレンジは変わらない人だったし。一方でスタンリー・ブラックの「フィルム・スペクタキュラー」がVOL2だけとは。「ウエストサイドストーリー」や「サウンドオブミュージック」は素晴らしい出来だったと記憶しているが、今入手困難なだけに入れて欲しかった。また、もう一人の看板、ウェルナー・ミューラーがドイツ・デッカ音源がワーナーに移ったために収録なしになってしまったが、なんとかならなかったのか。まあ、それでもフェイズ4の良さは第1集のクラシックではなくイージーリスニングにあるのは間違いなく、これだけまとめて出て、データもわかる限り載っているのは嬉しい。
