Citation :#26 Listening to Newly Remastered Recordings ECM Secretly Preserved
TALES OF ANOTHER / GARY PEACOCK, KEITH JARRETT, JACK DeJOHNETTE
(Tower Record PROZ-1111)
A variety of recordings by ECM, German label, known for its motto, “the Most Beautiful Sound Next to Silence,” has been flat transferred to DSD for the first time and released with hybrid specifications of the high sound quality SACD and CD layers after commissioned by Tower Record. The reverberation utilizing the space of a studio or a hall is ECM’S trademark, however, the original version has never been allowed to go out. There’s been no remastered version available to public. We may be able to say that Manfred Eicher, the Producer, has been so persistent about the sound quality.
I felt what I had listened to so far was not bad, but if you make a comparison, you can feel the further depth to the sound on SACD. The resonance is clear but at the same time it sounds so mellow. The sound of bass by Gary Peacock, the leader and the basist, stretches well toward the lower keys. The performance is the rich conversation among the three on an equal footing who were going to be developed into Keith Jarret’s “Standard Trio” later. I’d like to enjoy the beautiful performance as if they are having fun in the flexible and free world.
