Originally recorded March 8 and April 12, 1982, at New York's Vanguard Recording Studio. Musicians: Harold Farberman, conductor Everett Firth, Boston Symphony Roland Kofloff, New York Philharmonic Mickey Bookspan, Philadelphia Orchestra Donald Miller, Cleveland Orchestra Walter Rosenberger, New York Philharmonic John Siroka, Pittsburgh Symphony Morris Lang, New York Philharmonic Bent Lyllof, Royal Danish Orchestra Abraham Marcus, New York Metropolitan Opera Orchestra The Ultimate High Quality CD (UHQCD) The Ultimate High Quality CD was developed through an effort to improve audio quality by simply upgrading the materials used in ordinary CDs to higher quality materials. For the substrate a high-transparency and high-fluidity polycarbonate (a type of plastic) of the type used for LCD panels was used, while for the reflective layer, low-cost, common aluminum was replaced with a unique and expensive alloy of high-reflectivity. The Ultimate High Quality CD reproduces audio with greater precision and at a level that is impossible to achieve using conventional CD production technology!
