Berlioz - Symphonie Fantastique: Colin Davis: Decca Pure Analogue (180g Vinyl LP)

Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique: Colin Davis Reissued for the Decca Pure Analogue Series on 180g LP: Mastered by Rainer Maillard and Cut by Sidney C. Meyer at Emil Berliner Studios Using 100% Pure Analogue Techniques (AAA). Pressed at Pallas in Germany.

Since its first release, Sir Colin Davis’s exhilarating 1974 account of the Symphonie Fantastique with the Concertgebouw Orchestra, has remained a prime recommendation. His affinity with Berlioz is now the stuff of legend. His understanding of Berlioz’s unique compositional practices is amply demonstrated in this Concertgebouw recording. All the individual qualities of Berlioz’s orchestration are unapologetically realized by his supreme musicianship. He is a true champion of the French composer’s work, and this outstanding version rightly deserves the high praise it has received over the years.

Decca Pure Analogue Series features the original 1/4-inch, two-track stereo tapes mastered by Rainer Maillard and cut by Sidney C. Meyer at Emil Berliner Studios.
