Yes.  I got the 2CD set recently from a friend in Japan.  The discs are
remastered and released in Japan on the EMI label.  The performance is good
but I wasn't impress with the remastering (or the sound recording - it's
recorded in 1956 or so, and I was expecting a much better sound recording).
Mainly distortions in fortissimo passages.  Any of that problem in the LP
version?
