Jewel
With "Preziosa", MDG opens its treasure chest of fine musical gems that adorn the career of the audiophile label like a string of pearls. To start with, there is Gioacchino Rossini's "Petite Messe solennelle", the first MDG recording ever and until now not available on CD. The live recording from 1976 makes it clear: uncompromising quality, both musically and sonically, has been MDG's trademark from the very beginning.

Gem
As little technique as possible, as much as necessary: MDG's sound concept puts the music absolutely in the foreground. Only a handful of microphones were used in this production, which found a larger, enthusiastic audience rather by chance as an LP. The trade press was unanimous: "the favourite record... - outstanding spatiality..." (stereoplay), "musically as well as performance-wise a top-quality event" (FonoForum) and awarded top ratings.
