I bought the 41 CD + DVD [ H on TV, 1968 ] set 'H live at Cernegie Hall' when it came out. This has the 2CD 'unedited' concert, which apparently was first released in 2003. There's no info in the box set about the remasterings, except the note published and copyright 2013. The 1965 return notes state the remastering is by Andreas Mayer. I guess ... more | |

These 2010 releases have '24 bit remastering' claimed on the box, as opposed to the 20 bit on the full Rubinstein edition. Last year I bought RCA Japan's Rubinstein Chopin stereo nocturnes, sonatas, waltzes and mazurkas. These were released in ... more |
