Sibelius: Violinkonzert in D Minor, Op. 47 / Beethoven: Violinromanzen Nr. 1 & 2

In the early 1970s, Pinchas Zukerman and Daniel Barenboim were regarded as two of the most exciting young musicians of their generation. Their joint recording of Sibelius’s Violin Concerto, Op. 47, and Beethoven’s Romances for Violin and Orchestra Nos. 1 and 2 with the London Philharmonic Orchestra captures the extraordinary artistic energy of that time in exemplary fashion.

The two works were newly remastered and cut for this release for the first time from the original ½-inch four-track tapes.

The 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 cut the original four- and eight-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.
