The inventor of the operetta, composer and cellist Jacques Offenbach, and one of the most important representatives of French Romanticism, Charles Gounod, can be heard on this Japanese release in SHM SACD format. Emil Berliner Studios have remastered these 1971 recordings with Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic in Berlin's Christuskirche from the original 2024 master tapes.

This title is an SHM SACD. This format is the further development of the single-layer SACD and uses a particularly light-transparent plastic (Super High Material). It allows a much better readability of the pit-land structures on the surface than is possible with hybrid SACDs. Universal's SHM SACDs are generally re-digitized to DSD from the albums' master tapes without any changes. SHM SACDs can be played on any SACD player. Please do not use L'Art du Son or alcohol-based cleaning agents. - Please note: All titles are designed by Universal Music as limited edition collector's items for the Japanese market.
