Coming from a musical family, Gergely Bogányi is one of the youngest ever pianists to have won the Kossuth Prize, becoming one of the leading pianists of his generation.
He was born in 1974 in Vác, Hungary (his father is Tibor Bogányi), and started playing the piano at the age of four. He continued his studies at the Liszt Academy in Budapest, the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki and at Indiana University in Bloomington with professors László Baranyay, Gy?rgy Seb?k, Matti Raekallio. wikipedia
匈牙利鋼琴家艾勒蓋依波加尼四歲開始習琴，在1996年奪得李斯特國際鋼琴大賽首獎。雖然蕭邦夜曲已經是許多著名鋼琴家都挑戰(zhàn)過的曲目，但是波加尼的演出帶著一種輕鬆、自在的流動感受，無論是晶瑩剔透的高音鍵、沉穩(wěn)的低音鍵、和諧的泛音、完整的結構等等，都讓聆聽者有耳目一新的新鮮感。加上Stockfisch採用Fazioli F308平臺鋼琴，由麥克風混音后，立體聲兩軌訊號直接轉為DSD，直接轉為SACD的玻璃母盤。這種「直刻SACD」以最短的訊號路徑、最簡單的制程，讓原始的訊號能夠完整的重現，成功的收錄了這個偉大的鋼琴演出。

WHAT IS A DIRECT CUT SACD?
On the Super Audio CD (SACD) the sound is recorded in DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format. The sampling frequency (2.8334 MHz) is 64 times that of a traditional CD. Furthermore, DSD uses 1-bit quantization. With the aid of this technology an even broader frequenzy range (up to 100 kHz) and even greater dynamics (120dB) can be achieved over the entire useful audio range.
For this DIRECT-CUT-SUPER-AUDIO-CD with Gergely Bogányi we used our SADiE DSD8 system for the recording, processing and mastering. The signal from the microphones is mixed to stereo in the analogue domain, converted to DSD with the emmLABs ADC8 MkIV and recorded as DSD signal to the SADiE system. This recording is maintained in DSD format throughout the processing stages. The end result is then obtained in the SADiE DSD8 - the "cutting master" (AIT tape) - which is later transferred directly to a SACD glass master in the pressing plant.
This DIRECT-CUT-SUPER-AUDIO-CD will enable you to hear the true DSD sound of the FAZIOLI F 308 grand piano - pure and pristine. The hybrid layer which guarantees downward compatibility contains the 16-bit PCM stereo program derived from the DSD mix.
