Album cover art for upc 7318591539018
Label: BIS
Catalog: SACD153901
Format: SACD

For the first time a record label has chosen to use a Super Audio CD - and a previously unreleased one at that! - as its catalogue disc. Sharon Bezaly's recording of W.A. Mozart's works for flute and orchestra with Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra under Jhua Kangas is wonderfully fresh - both in the musical sense and in fact: the recording took place in April 2005! At a rock bottom price, music lovers will get Surround Sound versions of these graceful works interpreted by a soloist who has been described as the 'Paganini of the flute' - and since the disc is a hybrid SACD, it is of course also playable on any CD-player in stereo! Packed with the SACD is a BIS catalogue. On 244 full-colour pages, it lists the almost 1300 titles available from the company, as well as giving information about ongoing projects such as the highly acclaimed Bach Cantata cycle with Bach Collegium Japan and the Beethoven cycles of Osmo Vänska and Minnesota Orchestra (the Symphonies) and Ronald Brautigam (Complete Music for Solo Piano).
