DG Japanese pressings


So I found the Japanese version of Beethoven's Pastorale - Bohm/Wiener on ebay.  I wanted to see if there was any sonic differences and for 6 bucks why not?  To my surprise, it sounds glorious!  No dry, sterile sound here. Thoroughly enjoyable.  This is so unfair, why must the rest of the world suffer at the hands of the German Tonmeister?  Is this a one off thing or do the Japanese DG LPs indeed sound better usually?

Well, I cannot find a release date in English anywhere.  The series is the one commemorating him - "Karl Bohm Ausgabe".  This edition has "2000" under the DG logo.
Google is not turning up anything about this edition. I am sure it is remastered because it does sound different than the early 70's releases I have.
