AudioNautes has become a permanent fixture – far beyond the audiophile community. The company, founded by Fabio Camorani, not only stands for first-class high-end equipment: With AudioNautes Recordings, Camorani enriches discerning music lovers with quite extraordinary sound carriers, which are among the "best versions of some exquisite, unknown or largely forgotten albums from classical, jazz and pop". Releases such as "Jazz At The Pawnshop", Sara K's cult albums "Play On Words" and "Good Friends" or the many other artistically valuable recordings of classical works from the Baroque period prove that this is not just a full-bodied saying. Bach and Vivaldi are just as much a part of the AuadioNautes repertoire as specialties of late medieval European choral music. "15th Anniversary Edition: A Selection From The Original Masters" is a carefully curated compilation of absolute highlights from AudioNautes' catalog. The stylistically diverse sampler contains many of the legendary studio and live recordings that have made the label so famous and offers the perfect opportunity to get to know the sound cosmos of AudioNautes.
The UHQCD by AudioNautes Recordings starts with two special features: The first track – "Welcome" – is an intro recorded with three different microphones: The listener gets the opportunity to get to know the differences in vocal balance depending on the microphone used. The second track, "Channel Setting", consists of two mono tracks and allows the listener to check the balance of the two channels in their hi-fi system. This is followed by almost 80 minutes of top-class music from classical, jazz and pop - with an outstandingly homogeneous sound and spectacular dynamic range!
UHQCD stands for Ultimate High Quality Compact Disc and is a joint development of the Japanese CD replication company Memory-Tech and the Audio Quality CD Company from Hong Kong. UHQCDs, unlike conventional CDs, are not pressed from polycarbonate, but cast from a photopolymer and cured with UV light. To protect the softer photopolymer from scratching, another layer of high-purity polycarbonate is applied. The combination results in a significantly reduced reflection of the laser light inside the CD and an unrivalled precise edge transition between pits and lands of the CD. UHQCDs are 100% compatible with normal CD players. Musically, the result is a sound that is strongly reminiscent of analog master tapes.
