The SICC series is not a specific line of electronics from Sony. Instead, SICC (Sony International Classical Collection) is a prefix used for the catalog numbers of classical music albums released by Sony Music in Japan.
These are often limited-edition or remastered versions of original recordings from Sony's classical music archives, including artists such as Vladimir Horowitz, Yo-Yo Ma, and Murray Perahia.
Product features
SICC series releases are sought after by classical music enthusiasts and collectors for several reasons:
Specialized formats: Many SICC releases have utilized special CD formats to improve audio quality, such as Blu-spec CD and SACD (Super Audio CD).
High-quality packaging: A number of SICC albums are presented as miniature, high-quality replicas of the original LP vinyl record packaging. These are known as Mini LP or "OBI edition" CDs.
Remastered audio: The SICC series often features digitally remastered audio, which enhances the sound quality of the classic recordings for modern playback systems.
Exclusive to the Japanese market: These releases are primarily distributed in Japan, making them limited in availability elsewhere and increasing their value to collectors. |
