“Conceived as a true collector’s edition, the Maria Callas Remastered Box Set presents each individual opera or recital MQS (Master Quality Sound) Album on microSD card with its original artwork. The box set contains a 132–page hardcover book with essays, a biography and chronology, rarely seen photos and reproductions of revealing letters written by Maria Callas, Walter Legge and other EMI executives. The opera librettos and aria texts are provided on each MQS Album.”
"The Callas Box Set is currently available for $1,200. That’s a lot of money for a set of microSD cards. I applaud the A&K folks for creating a really beautiful book and packaging but the price seems a little over the top. Especially, since all of the recordings are from a period in recording history that doesn’t come close to requiring 24-bits or 96 kHz sample rates! I would challenge anyone to detect any difference between a CD of the new masters and the files that you will load onto your portable player. "
