Mit Amata dalle tenebre veröffentlichte Anna Netrebko ihr erstes Soloalbum seit fünf Jahren. Rund um ihren 50. Geburtstag präsentiert die Primadonna assoluta auf dem Höhepunkt ihres Könnens eine schillernde Auswahl ikonischer Sopran-Arien von Verdi, Wagner, Strauss, Puccini, Cilea und Purcell, darunter auch Dido‘s Lament, Annas Netrebkos erstes Barockstück in englischer Sprache überhaupt. Aufgenommen im berühmten Auditorium der Mailänder Scala, mit dem Orchestra der Scala unter dem Dirigat von Maestro Riccardo Chailly.

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. Unlike conventional CDs, UHQCDs are not pressed from polycarbonate, but cast from a photopolymer and cured with UV light. Another layer of high-purity polycarbonate is applied to the softer photopolymer for scratch protection. The combination results in significantly reduced reflection of laser light inside the CD and an unmatched precise edge transition between pits and lands of the CD. UHQCDs are 100% compatible with standard CD players. Musically, the result is a sound image strongly reminiscent of analog master tapes.

While Universal Music Japan’s first UHQCD series relied on the DSD data of previous SHM-SACD releases, with increasing popularity, albums that had not previously been released as SHM-SACD are now appearing. Typically, the Universal Archive master tapes are re-converted to DSD for this purpose. UHQCDs are ideal for music lovers who want to get as close as possible to the sound of the recording, but do not own an SACD player.
