Klaviersonaten Nr.13,15,16,18 - CD

Ludwig van Beethoven: Klaviersonaten Nr.13,15,16,18 LTD version on CD in limited edition. This particular edition was published in Europe in publishing company Decca on 27. November 2020.

Legendary Decca recordings of Ludwig van Beethoven's piano sonatas performed by Wilhelm Backhaus. The recordings were made between 1959 and 1969 and were brought together for the first time in 2012 in a complete edition. The abbreviation UHQCD stands for Ultimate High Quality Compact Disc and is a joint development of the Japanese CD replication company Memory-Tech and the Hong Kong-based Audio Quality CD Company. Unlike conventional CDs, UHQCDs are not pressed from polycarbonate, but cast from photopolymer and cured with UV light. To protect the softer photopolymer from scratches, an additional layer of high-purity polycarbonate is applied. The result of this combination is a significant reduction in laser light reflection inside the CD and an unparalleled precise edge transition between the pits and the CD soils. UHQCDs are 100% compatible with conventional CD players. Musically, the result is a sound image strongly reminiscent of analog master tapes. In addition, the discs offered by Universal Japan are encoded with MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) technology. By outputting a digital signal from the digital output of a CD player or a previously ripped data stream from a music server to the appropriate MQA-DA converter, you can generate a 24-bit signal from CD data with a sampling rate of up to 352 Khz. The current UHQCD series is based on the DSD data of single-layer SHM SACDs released by Universal Music Japan in previous years. This makes UHQCDs ideal for music lovers who want to get as close to the sound of a recording as possible but do not own a SACD player.

Album spans genres Classical and Romantic. Ultimate High Quality CD Limited Edition.
