Review:
“Karajan’s profound insight into, and identification with, this work is evident in every second of this recording, and the Berliners play their hearts out for him. Recorded in the Berlin Philharmonie, the original LP release was always one of the better-sounding DG records of the era. This new Original Source version, mastered and cut as always directly from the original master tapes (in this case 8-track) by Rainer Maillard and Sidney C. Meyer at Emil Berliner Studios, takes things to a whole other level sonically. It is revelatory.
(…) This release captures something really special: a moment in recording history, lightning in a bottle. It conveys to thrilling effect the full force of what made Karajan and the Berliners of this period unique and, in many ways, still unequalled. Hell, it might even convert the Karajan naysayers!” Tracking Angle Review by Mark Ward
