Daniel Barenboim – Bruckner: Symphony No. 4

The early recordings of Anton Bruckner’s Symphonies with Daniel Barenboim and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra achieved cult status soon after their original releases. The more as some of them were hardly available on CD for many years and thus became coveted collector’s items. The outstanding recording of the 4th Symphony from 1971 is now being reissued on vinyl for the first time.

For its 125th birthday, Deutsche Grammophon started releasing legendary recordings with highest sound standards: The audiophile vinyl series The Original Source presents outstanding recordings from the 1970s in a whole new sound quality. For this, the renowned Emil Berliner Studios have remastered and edited the original 4-track tapes in 100% analog quality (AAA) using technologies developed specifically to produce the series. The sonic differences to the original releases are considerable: greater clarity, more subtleties and improvements in frequency response, while at the same time less background noise, distortion and compression allow for an audiophile listening experience like never before.

On 180-gram vinyl records and in a deluxe gatefold edition with original covers and lyrics, the copies of this series are released limited and numbered, accompanied by additional photos and facsimiles of the recording logs and band boxes, and an article explains the exact technical background.
