This week we announce the exclusive pre-order start of the 11th batch of celebrated analogue albums that will be released on 5 June. This time, the pure analogue technology of Emil Berliner Studios was used to remaster Claudio Abbado's recording of Mahler’s 4th with Frederica von Stade, Leonard Bernstein’s album with the Wiener Philharmoniker of Beethoven’s String Quartet, Op. 131, and Pinchas Zukerman and Daniel Barenboim’s performances of Sibelius’s Violin Concerto and Beethoven Violin Romances.
We also announce the pre-order start of Herbert von Karajan’s monumental Ring Cycle, which will be released in the Original Source Series to mark the 150th anniversary of the first complete cycle of Wagner’s tetralogy. For the first time, the OSS will use the original 2-track stereo master. The 3LP box set will be released on 3 April.
