About this product
Having worked with the Berliner Philharmoniker, the Deutsche Oper and MusicAeterna, Sissi Makropoulou has established a reputation among the most talented harpists of her generation, as well as a composer working under the name Sissi Radu. On this, her debut solo album, she brings both talents together. As she explains in her engaging booklet notes, she has been familiar with The Seasons since childhood. They count among the composer's most intimate works, as well as his most popular. 'I hear tenderness, benevolence and loneliness - the core of romantic love - in each and every note.' It is the harp that lends a unique color to some of Tchaikovsky's most memorable passages such as the cadenzas in Swan Lake and The Nutcracker. In some cases - January, for example - Sissi Makropoulou has transposed the pieces to sit more easily on the harp and to exploit it's sumptuous palette of enharmonics. And while the Shrovetide Fair of February presents considerable challenges to the harpist in terms of quicksilver articulation and lightning-fast chord changes, the results speak for themselves in terms of a happy marriage between music and instrument. March, for example, could have been written with the harp in mind. As an encore, Sissi Makropoulou plays her own arrangement of the second movement from Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony. The gentle mood of this Andantino 'in the style of a song' transfers itself sympathetically to the harp in her hands, and is informed by her experience of playing the composer's music under one of it's most inspirational modern conductors, Teodor Currentzis. Album Tracks 1. The Seasons Op. 37A 2. Symphony No. 4

In 1995, producer Steve Guttenberg and Chesky Records created the Ultimate Demonstration Disc, a landmark that became an essential tool for audiophiles worldwide. Thirteen years later, building on everything they had learned about capturing the purest sound, Guttenberg returned to produce The Ultimate Demonstration Disc, Volume 2. Designed to bridge the gap between technical terminology and the listening experience, this collection serves as a practical guide to the audiophile lexicon. On each track, Guttenberg Inchspells outInch exactly what to listen for, providing clear musical examples of concepts like InchtransparencyInch and Inchsoundstage depth.Inch By using a custom-built recording chain and avoiding dynamic range compressors, equalizers, or overdubbing, the album captures a InchliveInch session exactly as the microphones heard it-resulting in a sound so neutral and natural that it can be used to reveal the subtle differences between high-end speakers, electronics, and cables.The Ultimate Demonstration Disc, Volume 2 will be reissued in 2026 on 180g One-step Pressing Double Vinyl LP, SACD Hybrid Stereo, and MQA-CD as part of the Chesky Original Masters series.
