Claudio Abbado & London Symphony Orchestra Stravinsky: Sacre Du Printemps

Product Type: Original Source Vinyl
Sold out!

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, the copies of this series are limited and numbered. They are accompanied by additional photos and facsimiles of the recording logs and tape boxes, plus an article, which explains the exact technical background.

Claudio Abbado and the London Symphony Orchestra presented a highly praised interpretation of Stravinsky's "Sacre du printemps" in 1976. They do justice to the complexity of the rhythmically demanding work as well as to the loving elaboration of numerous details. Among the many recordings of the Sacre, this is certainly a highlight.
