Following the release of Mahler's fifth symphony as part of The Original Source Series, the sixth by the unbeatable duo Herbert von Karajan and the Berliner Philharmoniker now follows. The Gramophone Classical Music Guide describes the recording as ‘A masterly achievement by composer, conductor and orchestra alike.’ Mixed and edited from the original 8-track tapes, this edition provides a breathtaking listening experience of the highest analogue sound quality.

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 edited 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.

On 180g vinyl records and in a deluxe gatefold edition with original covers and lyrics, the copies of this series are released limited and numbered, accompanied by additional photos and facsimiles of the recording logs and band boxes.
