Out-of-print, classic album, 6-disc hybrid SACD set. Limited edition of 1500 sets, sold in 2020 by Tower Records. The obi, box, case, and discs are all in excellent condition. I don't think you'll find a better condition copy used. Serial number 428. There is also a remastered SACD version of Kempe's complete Beethoven symphonies from Esoteric in 2012, but this set has a clearer overall perspective and instrument separation, with a difference so significant that it seems like a different master was used. Also, the inclusion of overtures not found on the Esoteric version is not to be missed. This set is a masterpiece among the many complete Beethoven symphony sets. ※SACD hybrid disc.

It is a rare recording, both weighty and possessing Kempe's characteristic lively brilliance and strong driving force. Winner of the 13th (1975) Record Academy Award in the Symphony category. In addition, the three overtures are the world's first SACD releases. This time, we have newly restored the recording with the aim of achieving the highest sound quality possible in the current situation. Using a master digitally converted from the original analog master tapes at 192kHz/24bit, the SACD layer and CD layer were mastered separately. Includes new commentary. In 2012, Esoteric released the complete symphonies on SACD, and the popularity of the sound source was rekindled by the support of users seeking high sound quality, and there were many voices hoping for a revival even now.
