peer agreement (net): +1specially selected recordings Explanation: This is direct translation. If the mazazine is issued monthly, 'recordings of the month' would be one of the options, like the case of Gramophone magazine. Reference: http://www.gramophone.co.uk/ |

special selection/edition Explanation: In this context, in magazines etc., the term seems to indicate a record (video) that is being highlighted for a review. In that case I would go for "special selection" (see first web reference). It seems, however, that (acurately or not) the term is also used to indicate special editions, i.e, special releases, as it is used in juxtaposition with the term レア盤 (rare edition), as in the second web reference below. You will find, coincidentally, that the same character combination is being used in Chinese. Example sentence(s):

editor's choice Explanation: I think the most commonly used English counterpart is editor's choice. Maybe less common one is critic's choice (I think this is how it actually operates in レコード芸術誌). |
