The fourth batch of Deutsche Grammophon’s new audiophile vinyl series, The Original Source, is now again exclusively available for pre-order (release January 12) from the DG Store. The new releases include Claudio Abbado conducting Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4; Gundula Janowitz performing in Richard Strauss’ Four Last Songs with Herbert von Karajan and the Berliner Philharmoniker (plus Tod und Verklärung); and three recordings with William Steinberg conducting the Boston Symphony Orchestra in the first 3-LP OSS box set: Holst’s The Planets, Richard Strauss’ Also sprach Zarathustra and the Mathis der Maler Symphony from Paul Hindemith.
The renowned Berlin-based Emil Berliner Studios are remastering 4-track recordings from the 1970s, using their own cutting-edge and 100% pure analogue techniques to create versions of the highest possible audio quality. Produced on 180g virgin vinyl by Optimal, the discs are being issued in deluxe gatefold editions featuring additional photos and recording documentation. We recommend you secure your copies quickly as this acclaimed series tends to sell out fast. Enjoy!
