Great Recordings of the Century

‘A distinguished series of beautifully presented reissues.’ (Gramophone)

‘EMI’s Great Recordings of the Century is exactly what it says: these classic interpretations warrant a place in everybody’s collection.’ (The Times)

The EMI Classics flagship mid-price series of reissues Great Recordings of the Century has proved exceptionally successful since its launch in 1998. It has achieved sales of well over five-and-a-half million units.

The series has a high-quality and distinctive through-design, with original LP sleeves and the ART logo reproduced on the front covers, and critical endorsements from the Gramophone on the back inlays. The substantial booklets offer newly commissioned and authoritative essays (in English, German & French) and, where appropriate, the sung texts/libretto (with translations).

A crucial element in maintaining the high standards achieved in Great Recordings of the Century is the work of EMI’s renowned team of engineers at Abbey Road Studios. Using the very latest technology, they make new transfers from the original materials (78s and analogue tape) and new remasterings (of both analogue and digital recordings).

投稿日:2008/02/22 (金)

BWV989以外の3曲は、以前フィリップスの「20世紀…」シリーズで出ていたものと同一音源。トゥーレックは何度もゴルトベルクを録音するなど、バッハ演奏に定評があり、かのグレン・グールドにも多大な影響を与えた人物であったという。この57年録音は、グールドの演奏とは対極にある「ゆっくりしたテンポでじっくりと歌い上げる」もの。グールドの新旧両盤の好きな方にも、トゥーレックのDG盤(これも素晴らしい!)が好きな方にも、是非とも聴いていただきたいと思う。現代ピアノでのバッハ演奏の名演の一つとして語られるべき名盤だと思う。
