Fonè 40 Years Anniversary 1983-2023

Tube processed digital master - Natural sound recording Celebrating the label's 40th anniversary, foné is releasing an equally special product: a 40th anniversary collection on Hybrid SACD containing the most significant tracks representing the large foné catalog of classical, jazz and pop songs. Among the artists represented: Salvatore Accardo, Ruggero Raimondi, Orchestra e Coro dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia conductor Myung-whun Chung, Scott Hamilton, Musica Nuda, Fausto Mesolella, Enzo Pietropaoli and more! For this album Giulio Cesare Ricciuse used both analog (Ampex ATR 102 Electronic Tube Ampex Model 351-1965, 2 tracks, 1/2 inch, 30ips modified by David Manley) and digital (Pyramix Recorder, dCS A/D and D/A converters). Ricci has always made two masters for each recording, an analog master for vinyl and digital master DSD for SuperAudioCD. For these recordings Ricci used a "field effect" recording technique, natural sound, without the use of equalizers, no sound expansion and compression systems..... all this to bring the listener to live again in his home hifi system, the live effect as if he were present at the recording. Great realism, great dynamics and great music!
