Wilhelm Kempff, Henryk Szeryng & Pierre Fournier Ludwig van Beethoven: Piano Trios No.1-11 Box Set (3 SHM-SACD)

These recordings of Ludwig van Beethoven's piano trios with pianist Wilhelm Kempff, violinist Henryk Szeryng and Pierre Fournier on cello were made for Deutsche Grammophon in 1969 and 1970.
This title is a SHM-SACD. This format is the further development of the single-layer SACD and uses a particularly light-transparent plastic (Super High Material). It achieves a significantly better readability of the pit-land structures on the surface than is possible with hybrid SACDs. Universal's SHM-SACDs are generally re-digitized from the master tapes of the albums to DSD without any changes. SHM-SACDs can be played on any SACD player. Attention: All tracks are designed by Universal Music as limited edition collectibles for the Japanese market.
