Minoru Nojima – Nojima Plays Liszt (2LPs, 45RPM, Reference Recordings)

Nojima Plays Liszt is one of the reference recordings bestsellers. The recording from 1986 is considered to be one of the best piano recordings of all time. The analogue recording was produced by “Prof.” Keith Johnson, who received the award “Best Recording of the Month” from the “Stereo Review” when it was first published. Minoru Nojima is one of the most internationally known pianists from Japan. The 45 double LP appears on 180g vinyl in a gatefold cover and, in addition to the music from the original album, is given a title from the Nojima Plays Ravel album. 180-gram or 200-gram compression – a question that is not that easy For identical titles from Reference Recordings, there are covers labeled 180 g that contain LPs that weigh around 200 g, and vice versa. This is due to the fact that the commissioned pressing plants QRT and RTI in the USA specify a 10 percent tolerance for weight on the one hand and then occasionally simply get the orders mixed up. In terms of sound, the pressings do not differ. Please: Do not call Sieveking Sound so that someone goes out and unpacks an LP especially for you and puts it on the scales!
