We release the 11th batch of celebrated analogue albums reissued on vinyl with the highest possible audio quality as part of our Original Source Series. This time, the cutting-edge, pure analogue technology of the Emil Berliner Studios was used to remaster remarkable albums by Claudio Abbado with Frederica von Stade and the Wiener Philharmoniker, by Leonard Bernstein, also with the Wiener Philharmoniker, and by Pinchas Zukerman, Daniel Barenboim and the London Philharmonic Orchestra
