Burmester elevates the audiophile experience with the launch of PURE SOUND – Master Recordings on lacquer. Renowned for their commitment to uncompromised German engineering, Burmester delivers each record as a unique lacquer-cut masterpiece, derived directly from a pristine 1:1 master tape. This meticulous process ensures that every nuance intended by legendary artists like Oscar Peterson is faithfully preserved, without the interference of edits, filters, or digital conversions.
The inaugural release, We Get Requests by the Oscar Peterson Trio, stands as a testament to Burmester's dedication to authenticity. Recorded in 1964 in New York City, this jazz classic is presented in an exclusive run of 333 lacquer records, meticulously crafted at the traditional 33⅓ RPM format. Priced at $900 per copy, each record not only offers exceptional sound quality but also features handcrafted packaging, premium acetate lacquer, and an accompanying artist print, catering to the discerning collector who values both auditory and aesthetic excellence.
Expanding its PURE SOUND series, Burmester has collaborated with US singer-songwriter MALIA for a live recording session in Vienna. Utilizing the Burmester X Mastercut system, MALIA captured six unedited songs alongside bassist Evan Mathews, resulting in a direct and vibrant analog recording. This session emphasizes real-time fidelity, allowing listeners to experience the raw energy and spontaneity of the performance through Burmester's high-fidelity audio setup during the subsequent listening session.
Burmester's PURE SOUND – Master Recordings is not merely a product launch but a celebration of pure analog craftsmanship. By eschewing digital shortcuts and maintaining a steadfast commitment to traditional recording techniques, Burmester provides audiophiles with a rare opportunity to own and experience music in its most authentic form. With limited editions like the Oscar Peterson Trio and exclusive collaborations such as MALIA’s live sessions, Burmester reinforces its position at the pinnacle of audiophile excellence.
