Mark Levinson Acoustic Recording Series, Volume 1 - Bach SIX SCHUBLER CHORALES (organ) -&- Battle Chapel Choir (Yale) - MAL1 - BEST!!
This album needs no introduction to the music lovers and audiophiles who will be bidding here. Suffice it to say that it is one of a handful of very well-respected records that came out of the high-end audiophile launch in the U.S. during the early to late '70s. Fact is, to say Mr. Levinson is among this elite corps is to misunderstand that, in fact, he led the way. From setting up the mics right on through to pressing this record, every level of care was taken. The result, in your living room, will quite astound you. (Be sure to get the volume right, please, not hesitating at all to achieve in-your-room performance size.)
Side one is of the SIX SCHUBLER CHORALES as played on the organ at Yale, and side 2 offers up a very spacious sound capture of the Battle Chapel Choir singing Bach's PRELUDE IN E MAJOR, REJOICE IN THE LORD, MAGNIFICA by Tallis, LORD LET ME KNOW MINE END by Greene, and O SANCTUM CONVIVIUM by Morales.
And, yes, this stellar copy of the very first Levinson release is the original grey-label version, pressed in France, and in tip-top shape. The cover has a hand like new, the record within plays near mint. Extremely clean copy.
Not to be missed. Among the treasures of vinyl literature.
