William Steinberg & Boston Symphony Orchestra's The Deutsche Grammophon Recordings Reissued as Part of the Original Source Series on 180g 3LP Box Set. Pure Analogue Mix & Cut from the Original Four-Track Tapes at Emil Berliner Studios. Pressed at Optimal.
Only three recordings were made by the Boston Symphony Orchestra and its then principal conductor William Steinberg for Deutsche Grammophon in 1970/71, but these recordings of 20th century masterpieces are still considered unsurpassed today. In a 3 LP set (3 gatefolds in a slipcase), Holst's The Planets, Strauss's Also sprach Zarathustra and Hindemith's Mathis der Maler Suite as well as his Concert Music for Strings and Brass are released together.
For its 125th birthday, Deutsche Grammophon is releasing legendary recordings with highest sound standards: The new audiophile vinyl series The Original Source presents outstanding recordings from the 1970s in a whole new sound quality. For this, the renowned Emil Berliner Studios have remastered and edited the original four-track tapes in 100% analog quality (AAA) using technologies developed specifically to produce the series. The sonic differences to the original releases are considerable: greater clarity, more subtleties and improvements in frequency response, while at the same time less background noise, distortion and compression allow for an audiophile listening experience like never before.
The copies of this series appear on 180g vinyl records and in a deluxe gatefold edition with original covers and lyrics. They are accompanied by additional photos and facsimiles of the recording logs and band boxes, and an article explains the exact technical background.
