Reviews:
"My aim in remastering 'Message from G' was not to change anything in the recordings of the three concerts of 1978; not to adapt them to today's listening habits or to modify them; on the contrary, the aim was to capture that special beauty of musicality and tone and to achieve a sound as close to the original recordings as possible. To that end, the master tape was comprehensively reworked: on the one hand by careful selection and the finest calibration of the tape equipment and the subsequent signal chain, and on the other hand by making very sensitive adjustments to the frequency range and the amplitude level. The theoretical basis for this was, among other things, an original vinyl disc that I used frequently for comparison purposes. We worked exclusively with analogue technology to produce the re-release. Despite an intensive search, the original master tapes of LP 1, B-side — "For Rico", "Italian Concerto", "Aria" (Version 1) and LP 3, B-side "Sonata in B flat major", "Aria" (Version 2) — were not to be found either in the MPS Archives in Villingen as backup copies or in the original tape archives and must therefore be considered as lost."" Producer's comment, Christoph Stickel, July 2015
