The Everest Recordings of the entire Beethoven cycle with Krips conducting the LSO are considered by many music critics to be utterly superb. Using the now famous 35mm recording decks at Walthamstow Assembly Hall in 1959, Bert Whyte and team Everest captured in amazing detail all the nuances and complexity of the Beethoven symphonies. Using the original 35mm tapes to do the transfers reveals how truly wonderful both the performances and the recordings compare with each other efforts by major labels of the same era. The LP set includes all nine symphonies spread over 10 discs and includes a bonus 45 RPM disc of the Egmont Overture. The LPs were mastered and cut on an all-tube cutting system at the hands of Bernie "The Wizard" Grundman assisted by Len Horowitz running the 35mm tape machine. All LPs are on Clarity 200-gram Super Vinyl Profile pressings to insure maximum playback fidelity. The discs come in a beautiful box that includes the original art from the extremely rare boxed set from Everest along with a reproduction of the original deluxe edition booklet. This is an absolute must for serious Beethoven lovers.

About Clarity Vinyl:

Clarity Vinyl represents the ultimate in vinyl formulations because it is comprised of over 90 percent of the highest
quality co-polymer available – a key component in vinyl pellets used for manufacturing vinyl records. Further,
Clarity Vinyl has no carbon black additive, common in vinyl formulas for LPs. Carbon black contains trace metals
that become magnetized and cause "electrical distortions" in cartridges during playback that smears the sound.
By taking out the Carbon Black, Classic Records is able to dramatically reduce the "electrical distortions" and
thus bring more "Clarity" to the playback process, providing a more realistic musical experience to the listener
and LP enthusiast. 45-RPM records have long been recognized as providing a higher fidelity musical experience resulting
purely from the cartridge being able to extract more of the nuance from the complex vertical and horizontal groove
modulations in stereo LPs. Further, Classic Records 45-RPM single-sided pressings dramatically reduce the mechanical
resonances created by the cartridge during playback by allowing these resonances to be more fully transmitted to and
absorbed by the turntable platter. Classic Records Clarity Vinyl 45-RPM pressings are designed and manufactured to
provide the lowest distortion in every aspect of LP playback resulting in putting the listener as close to the music as possible.
