The story continues: Deutsche Grammophon will launch another four releases of iconic recordings within The Original Source Series on 4th October 2024. Pre-order starts today, exclusively in the DG Store!
As with the previous releases of The Original Source series: All are 4-track recordings from the 1970s, remastered by Emil Berliner Studios, using their own cutting-edge and 100% pure analogue techniques (AAA) to create versions of the highest possible audio quality.
Batch 6 includes new releases of Maurizio Pollini’s iconic recording of Chopin’s 24 Préludes op. 28, Mozart’s Piano Concertos Nos. 20 and 21 with Friedrich Gulda, Claudio Abbado and the Wiener Philharmoniker and two recordings by the Berliner Philharmoniker – Herbert von Karajan’s interpretation of the two Peer Gynt Suites and Antonín Dvořák’s 9th Symphony conducted by Rafael Kubelík.
Produced on 180g virgin vinyl by Optimal, these limited and numbered releases will be issued in deluxe gatefold editions featuring the original artwork and liner notes, with additional photos and facsimiles of the recording documentation on the inner sleeve. Furthermore, each release includes a note by Rainer Maillard/EBS detailing the technical background and procedure of the Original Source Series, and an additional insert with a photo of the original tape box.
