[Machine Translation] Legendary Artists Revived! A selection of the great musicians who dominated the Japanese classical music scene from the prewar to postwar periods, and their wonderful performances, carefully selected from Columbia's vast collection of SP sound recordings. Many of them are rare CD recordings from SP metal masters owned by Columbia. Careful mastering that respects the original sound. Many of the Japanese artists featured in Vol. 1 were trained by first-rate pastors who carry on the European tradition, and received excellent education through study abroad, and their technique and expressive power are fascinating even to today's ears. Supervised and written by Christopher N. Nozawa, SP researcher.
