BRAHMS Symphony No.4
Bruno Walter Conducting The Columbia Symphony Orchestra
New and Sealed Audiophile Vinyl Record
Record Label: Classic Records/Columbia Masterworks MS 6113
180 Gram HQ Vinyl.
This has long been a favorite among both music lovers and audio enthusiasts - a classic performance handsomely captured by Columbia's West Coast engineers in the early days of stereo recording.
Highly collectable release from audiophile label, Classic Records. This title was mastered by Classic Records at Half Speed from the original source master tapes. An all-analog, tube amplification process was used at every step. Classic Records used a proprietary vinyl that guaranteed virtually no surface noise and sonically superior dynamics.
Classic Records pride themselves for releasing each album with the original artwork, LP labels and any other materials which were included with original pressings.
Condition: New and still sealed in it's original plastic sleeve. Perforation is completely intact. Corners are sharp and unbent. Spine, top and bottom are solid and free of chipping or splits. Mint.
Review: In the late 1950's after some health problems, Bruno Walter relocated to California where he recorded entire Brahms and Beethoven cycles produced by Columbia's John McClure. This reading of Brahms fourth Symphony is noteworthy both in terms of its romantic performance as well as the recording sonics. Transferred from the original three track session masters directly to lacquer reveals dynamics and melodic contrasts that were always obscured on original pressings cut from the two track production mix down masters which were also heavily equalized in the high frequency resulting in a steely string sound with a lot of tape hiss - accentuated by the equalization. This recording is glorious in its soundstage breadth and the low level detail that convinces one that Walter was truly one of the masters. If you haven't heard this performance then you need to and how better that on Classic's 180g HQ vinyl. Highest Recommendation. ~ Soundstage Direct
