This week we release the 10th batch of celebrated analogue albums. This time, the cutting-edge, pure analogue technology of the Emil Berliner Studios was used to remaster Claudio Abbado’s album with the London Symphony Orchestra of Stravinsky’s ballet Petrushka, Seiji Ozawa’s album with the Boston Symphony Orchestra of Respighi’s four-movement symphonic poems Fountains Of Rome (1917), Pines Of Rome (1924) and Feste Romane (1929), Carlo Maria Giulini’s album with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra of Beethoven’s legendary ‘Eroica’ symphony, and Herbert von Karajan’s album with Anne-Sophie Mutter and the Berliner Philharmoniker of Mozart’s Violin Concertos Nos. 3 & 5.
