Reviews :
"One can debate at length which of the hundreds of recordings of this symphony is superior, but few would debate that this recording has been at the top of many lists of audiophile favorites for decades because of its superior interpretation and remarkable early stereo sound. ... Analogue Productions has thrown its hat in the (reissue) ring with this Harry Pearson Super Disc — one of the best recorded great interpretations of one of the greatest pieces of music that exists. While the top end sheen may be more subdued, the release surpasses the original in depth and width of soundstage and firmness of grip of the orchestra. Highest recommendation." Dennis D. Davis, Hi-Fi +, Issue 131
