This recording first appeared in 2006 in stereo on CD. It was highly praised everywhere, including in SPIEGEL magazine's cultural section, and was CD of the month in Stereoplay.
German weekly newspaper "junge Freiheit" wrote, "An exceptional work like this should only be recorded when the performers identify with it completely and utterly, or possibly even over-identify with it. If you want to have everything, you have to give everything." So why is this recording being released again now? Because of the sound.
TACET Real Surround Sound means that the listener is placed in the middle of the music. Stereo or normal Surround Sound, on the other hand, leaves him on the outside. Moving Real Surround Sound goes one step further still: the music is directed for the listener, a bit like in a theatrical production. Find out more at www.tacet.de.
TACET Real Surround Sound, Moving Real Surround Sound, high resolution stereo are all are on this Bluray Disc.
Many thanks to the musicians of the Clarens Quintet: Gernot Süßmuth, Eva Schönweiß, Felix Schwartz, Andreas Greger and Sebastian Krahnert. Their decisive contribution to this production is in no way diminished by the fact that a third party collaborated with them on it, who was himself inspired both by Wilhelm Furtwängler and also by them.
