As with
the great majority of MLP’s stereo releases, the actual recording
was made using three microphones – a stereo pair, plus a central
microphone. The LP (and subsequent CD) stereo releases mixed the centre
channel into the two outer channels. Now – and for the first
time -- SACD’s multi-channel capability enables all three discrete
channels to be present on the disc, allowing the listener to hear
the recording as it was originally taped (and as it was always intended
to be heard, when future technology permitted). Enhancing this new
opportunity is the significant additional fidelity gained through
direct-to-DSD transfers from the original half-inch analogue masters,
via DSD’s much greater resolution, frequency response and dynamic
range.
In addition to this first-time presentation of the three-track original
recording, the SACD also contains a high-resolution DSD stereo soundtrack,
mixed to match as closely as possible the original LP stereo mix.
Finally, as all Mercury Living Presence SACDs will be ‘hybrid’
releases, the SACD also includes a CD stereo soundtrack (Wilma Cozart
Fine's original CD transfer), thus making the disc compatible with
all CD players.
The covers and packaging have been kept within the famous Mercury
Living Presence tradition, maintaining the logo banner, cover art
and, where possible, original liner notes.
The pieces on this disc were originally recorded on 35mm film. |
