Simone Kopmajer New Romance (2 LP)

Venus Masterpiece Collection Limited Edition 180g Vinyl Double LP!
The Austrian singer Simone Kopmajer (formerly known as "Simone") presents an extremely fresh and extremely exciting encounter between classical music and jazz on her album, released in 2012 by Venus Records. Simone Kopmajer and the artist Karolin Türk have written lyrics to well-known classical melodies by Liszt, Chopin, Ravel, Bach and others together and recorded them together with talented Viennese musicians – including Karen Asatrian (piano), Anna Asatrian (violin), Raphael Preuschl (bass), Reinhardt Winkler (drums) and Wolfgang Puschnig (flute, alto saxophone). Surprisingly, these new "songs" sound quite natural and even familiar, as if they were jazz standards. A fascinating jazz vocal album! "New Romance" was recorded from January 21 to 23, 2011 at "4 Tune Audio Productions" in Vienna, Austria and produced, mixed and mastered by Tetsuo Hara.
Venus Records was founded in Japan in 1992 by Tetsuo Hara, who had previously worked as a producer for RCA Victor. The label uses a special mastering process called "Hyper Magnum Sound" for the strictly limited double LP of "New Romance", cut at 33 rpm and pressed on 180 gram vinyl, which produces a powerful, present sound and is highly appreciated by audiophiles worldwide. A small note: Venus LPs are only pressed once. If the edition is out of print, the corresponding title will be deleted from the catalogue and no longer reproduced. Collectors should therefore not wait too long to order: The releases from the "Venus Masterpiece Collection" are particularly popular!
Venus LPs are pressed only once. After the first edition has been sold, the titles will be removed from the catalogue. Collectors should therefore consider buying in good time.
