Me too. I have over twenty versions of The Four Seasons collected over the years. Despite plentiful new recordings in the market, (Over 650 different recordings are listed on the internet!) I still like one of the oldest productions, recorded in early 50’s, played by an Italian orchestra. It has that that magic of vividness, nature’s atmosphere and energy that I have found no peers. I have never dreamt of producing another recording of this beloved piece in the light of its being very over-recorded. However, two years ago, during a visit to one of my distributors, I heard him playing this recording and I was captivated. The distributor urged me to see if I could enhance the sound even better and come up in a SACD format. It was a Divox production from Switzerland. I took the disc home and listened and listened. It was evidently better than my reference mono LP! Eight months later, I met the owner of the recording, Mr. Wolfram M. Burgert of Appassionato AG in New York. Both of us had flown several thousand miles all for wishing to meet each other at a mid-point - driven by the same passion for excellence in music and sound. Wolfram, a gracious young entrepreneur, has cast me his vote of trust. Two months later, an agreement has reached. Paul Stubblebine, FIM’s mastering engineer, and I worked hard to squeeze every bit of music from the master tape. And here it comes in all its glory in the SACD format - a really special Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons! Oscar Wilde, the renowned British scholar, once said, - I have the simplest of tastes. I just like the best. I wonder if you would share his views. Good listening! - Winston Ma, First Impressions Music "...One of the 10 greatest recordings of the century.
