Japanese SACD Reissue 2019 | Decca / Esoteric Company, Japan # ESSD-90205
Edo de Waart conducts the San Francisco Symphony for performances of Grieg's "Peer Gynt" Op. 23: Incidental music to Ibsen's Play and Sir Neville Marriner conducts for Holberg Suite, Op.40. This reissue series of classical music masterpieces by Esoteric has attracted a lot of attention, both for its uncompromising commitment to recreating the original master sound. This series marks the first hybrid SACD release of historical recording selections that have been mainstays of the catalog since their initial release.
The introduction of digital recording techniques coincided with the end of Edo de Waart’s lengthy tenure as music director of the San Francisco Symphony and produced a series of fine recordings for Philips, including some excellent Respighi tone poems and a spectacular Saint-Saëns Organ Symphony. This Peer Gynt was another worthy effort, eclipsed in the intervening years by Blomstedt’s equally fine take on the complete incidental music as well as the suites with this same orchestra for Decca. At Eloquence prices, it makes quite a bargain. De Waart reveals a keen sense of both the music’s drama (Peer Gynt’s Homecoming) and color (Dance of the Mountain King’s Daughter). He manages a moving Ase’s Death that doesn’t drag, and has the wonderful Elly Ameling handling the solo turns. His chorus doesn’t characterize the music the way Beecham’s does, but then again no one else’s ever has. The addition of Marriner’s excellent Holberg Suite completes a very attractive package, though the absence of texts, as always with this series, is annoying as well as ultimately self-defeating.

Technical note:
The criterion of re-mastering is to faithfully capture the quality of the original master. ESOTERIC’s flag ship D/A converters, model D-01VU, Rubidium master clock generator model Grandioso G1 and ESOTERIC MEXCEL interconnect cables and power cords, were all used for this re-mastering session. This combination of highly advanced technology greatly contributed to capturing the high quality sound of the original master.
