Description:

Commemorating the 50th anniversary of Backhaus' death and Decca's 90th anniversary. The second collection of Beethoven piano sonatas recorded by German pianist Wilhelm Backhaus in his later years has been DSD remastered and released on SA-CD for the first time this year, 50 years after his death (only No. 29 was recorded in mono the first time). Backhaus's Beethoven Sonatas are still heard around the world as standard performances, even 50 years after their recording. The large capacity of the SA-CD format has been utilized to record the equivalent of eight CDs on six discs, and the two 3-CD sets are now available. We hope you will enjoy this newly remastered and revived performance. This is a Japan-exclusive project.
