Oscar Peterson : Unmistakable

Recorded: 2010, Abbey Road Studio Two, London, England
Released: 2011, Sony Masterworks
Oscar Peterson 的唱片我收藏很多,因為他的琴觸指法快速,技巧當然好得沒話說,他『正規』的唱片已經很多了,小廠所發行的唱片也很多。
剛聽這張唱片的時候,我是根本沒注意到唱片的中文側表及內頁說明,放進我的小音響內,怪怪愈聽愈覺得奇怪,怎麼雖然是
piano solo 的唱片,錄音怎麼會這麼好!這樣錄音會這麼好的唱片,怎麼會在小廠發行勒(雖然是 Sony 代理發行的)!......怪怪!
原來......
這張是使用貝森朵夫最高等級的鋼琴以高科技錄製發行,前半段(前八軌)是錄音現場重建版本,後半段(後八軌)是一模一樣的雙聲道的立體聲版。
20073月時Oscar Peterson 本人親自參與製作,這張唱片是2011年發行,Oscar Peterson 2007年就過世了。一細看中文側標,及原廠資料

Oscar Peterson : Unmistakable is a collection of re-performances® created from unreleased recordings Peterson made during the seventies and eighties.  The re-performances® capture the renowned jazz pianist playing at the height of his powers with some tracks never-before-heard by the public. The process began with Peterson himself in March 2007: after having heard about the technology, Peterson invited the Zenph team to his home to play examples of their work. A lifelong technology buff, Peterson understood and was enthusiastic about the implications of the Zenph technology on his legacy. Zenph employs a proprietary process that uses computer software to transform recorded music back into live  performances, precisely replicating what was originally played but with vastly-improved sound quality.

To create the Peterson re-performances, the Zenph team began with video recordings and several unreleased, private recordings of exceptional performances. Recorded in Studio Two at Abbey Road Studios in London, the Zenph team used a specially-outfitted Bösendorfer Imperial concert grand piano (Peterson was a Bösendorfer artist) to authentically recreate the distinct sounds of Peterson’s artistry. Released on Sony Masterworks, Oscar Peterson: Unmistakable extends the acclaimed technological breakthrough featured in prior Sony/Zenph releases of Glenn Gould, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Art Tatum.

Oscar Peterson 這張我是聽過好幾次,要不是拿著封面的側標看,完全感受不出來的這張是仿人電腦的錄音,我是搞不清楚倒底是怎麼做出來這樣的唱片,不過彷彿是 Oscar Peterson 最新而且錄音精準到銳利

此系列"錄音"的唱片,以前已發行過如古典樂的

Glenn GouldBach The Goldberg Variations 1955 Performance

Bach: The Goldberg Variations 1955 Performance: Zenph Re-performance
Rachmaninoff Plays Rachmaninoff

Rachmaninoff Plays Rachmaninoff: Zenph Re-performance
爵士樂部分有這張 SACD

Art Tatum:Piano Starts Here: Live at the Shrine

這份重製錄音,把整台Zenph製作的山葉電腦鋼琴搬到一九四九年泰坦現場演出這套曲目的爵士聖堂原址,將鋼琴擺放在原來泰坦演奏的位置,依原來的演奏曲序,以現代的數位錄音捕捉舞台上數位鋼琴的演奏,呈現出如同泰坦親臨的效果。
●亞特.泰坦的「Piano Starts Here」包括兩個錄音版本,此專輯特別收錄1949年在洛杉磯The Shrine現場演出9首歌曲,以及1933年錄製的4首最受歡迎的作品
●收錄兩個版本「錄音現場重建」&「終極耳機體驗完整版」
這張在不久前的博客來的滿7119折的活動中敗入,台灣代理商已引進一陣子了,當初博客來引進時,只覺得 Art Tatum 這套唱片(2CDs),要價500多元,是有點貴,因為原本以為是一些錄音不是很理想又名不見經傳的錄音,所以當初就完全沒興趣敗入。
現在知道這張應該是「有始以來錄音效果最理想的
Art Tatum」!還需要等待嗎?
