Keith Jarrett "The Köln Concert" - Hybrid SACD released in Japan

[Bunpei]

I listened a DSD remastered version of "The Köln Concert" contained in a hybrid SACD released on March 8th 2017 from Tower Records japan Inc. They say "DSD remastered by Christoph Stickel, 1/2017".

I got more dynamic and deeply-engraved sound impression from the new version.

 

I wonder which ADC device is used for the DSD mastering. If it was done at MSM Studios, they might use Sony Sonoma DSD Workstation.

This is super awesome news!! I'd love ECM to reissue their 1970s material on SACD.

 

Tower Records Japan released three ECM SACDs including "the Koeln concert" this time.

Yes, CD Japan does a fine job with their SACD sales. I wonder why the Pat Metheny album is shown as a CD vs. an SACD and the Chick Corea - Return to Forever SACD isn't listed as available through them.

 

All these three discs might be SACD because of their prices and release dates.

FYI: When you think you can't rely on CDJapan for the purchase of those SACD, there is an alternative way.

(I have no idea on costs)
