The Beatles LOVE

Bueno,decidme que os parece esto: la banda sonora del nuevo espectáculo Cirque de Soleil es una recopilación de los Beatles remasterizada por George Martin y su hijo. Saldrá en CD estereo y DVD con DTS 96/24.
Ojala se animen con el catálogo de los discos.
Os pongo la descripción en inglés que he encontrado:

"LOVE" RELEASED IN STEREO AND 5.1 - ON NOVEMBER 20TH 2006
Tuesday 16th October

We are releasing the LOVE album in stereo and 5.1, November 20th. This will be the first Beatles album available in 5.1.

The stereo CD will contain 78 minutes of music. The DVD surround sound version on DVD disc album will be a slightly extended version with 81 minutes of music.

After being asked by the remaining Beatles, Ringo and Paul, along with Yoko Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrison, to make experimental mixes from their master tapes for a collaboration with Cirque du Soleil, Sir George Martin, The Beatles legendary producer, and his son Giles Martin have been working with the entire archive of Beatles recordings to create LOVE. The result is an unprecedented approach to the music. Using the master tapes at Abbey Road Studios, Sir George and Giles have created a unique soundscape. The release of this album, which is also featured in the Cirque du Soleil/Beatles collaborative production of the same name at The Mirage in Las Vegas, has been much anticipated.

“This album puts the Beatles back together again, because suddenly there’s John and George with me and Ringo,” said Paul McCartney. “It’s kind of magical.”

“George and Giles did such a great job combining these tracks. It’s really powerful for me and I even heard things I’d forgotten we’d recorded.” commented Ringo Starr.

“The album has the feeling of love and that’s why the title is Beatles LOVE,“ added Yoko Ono Lennon, "They have let everything that is beautiful and daring come out.”

“The music is stunning. I think the most amazing thing about it is that you can pull it apart and all the elements carry with it the essence of the entire song,” said Olivia Harrison.

Tony Wadsworth, Chairman and CEO of EMI Music UK and Ireland said, “George and Giles’ highly original work in creating the LOVE album gives us a genuinely new Beatles album. It makes us respect even more, if that were possible, the creativity and brilliance of the band behind the greatest catalogue in the history of recorded music.”

The 5.1 disc is a DVD-Audio/DVD-Video hybrid. The audio is presented in high-resolution 96/24 5.1 surround on the DVD-Audio part of the disc. The DVD-Video part carries 5.1 surround in DTS and Dolby Digital as well as a PCM stereo mix. This DVD album is designed to be played on DVD video equipment but will carry no video component.

Se atreven con algunas canciones que no suelen salir en los típicos superéxitos de los beatles.

Tengo ganas de escuchar ese The Walrus en 5.1

Esperemos que este sea el primer paso para la edición de la discografía en alta resolución.

Bueno,este finde he tenido la ocasión de escuchar este disco en dvd-a. Imagino que los más puristas Beatlemaniacos se llevarán las manos a la cabeza pero a mi me ha encantado.....escuchar muchas de las canciones del Sargeant Peppers con esta claridad y profundidad es puro goce, sobre todo "A day in the life" (creo que previamente habia salido ya en DTS en los dvds de Anthology).
Hay canciones como "Strawberry Fields" que parte de una mezcla que yo creo que es demo, sin instrumentación apenas y luego se vá abriendo hacia la mezcla original.
Creo que hay que tomarse este disco como lo que es: la banda sonora de un espectáculo y disfrutarlo plenamente.

Yo ayer lo pedí por Amazon y lo he incluido en este post de cara a las votaciones de mejores grabaciones del año:

Me alegro de que te haya gustado.

Habrá que pillarlo. No se puede ser jurado sin haber oido el material sobre el que tienes que votar. O no se deb ería, al menos ;D.

Por cierto, el DVD de la película Yellow Submarine, descatalogada pero que a veces se encuentra en Amazon o E-bay contiene las canciones remezcladas en 5.1., con muy buena calidad.

Curiosamente la mezcla es sólo DD aunque en los créditos de la película aparece el logo de DTS.
