Original Source Series 180g Vinyl LP Reissue; Pure Analogue Mix & Cut from the Original Four-Track Tapes

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. Released 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 tape boxes, plus an article, which explains the exact technical background. Star conductor Carlos Kleiber only left few recordings, but these are all cult. This is also true of his recording of Beethoven’s 7th Symphony with the Vienna Philharmonic, which is marked by the great master conductor’s intellectual precision, passion and perfectionism. It is considered one of the most important interpretations of the much-performed work.
