Product Description

The Originals: Legendary Recordings From The Deutsche Grammophon Catalogue – 180g 6LP Box Set

Featuring 6 Classic Recordings / Each LP Expertly Re-mastered at Optimal from Analogue Sources

For nearly 20 years The Originals has been Deutsche Grammophon’s flagship label for reissues. It is a collection featuring some of the label’s most iconic artists of the LP era with their most famous recordings in new remasterings incorporating time-delay factors to more exactly reproduce the typical ambience of an analogue LP (“original-image bit processing”). Initially intended to conclude at 100 releases to mark the company’s centenary in 1998, the series has gone from strength to strength, with nearly 250 releases and no end in sight.

This numbered limited edition 180g 6LP collection from Deutsche Grammophon (all expertly re-mastered at Optimal from analogue sources and featuring their original front and back covers) gathers six classical masterpieces from the series – Chopin: Piano Concerto No. 1 / Liszt: Piano Concerto No. 1; Grieg: Lyric Pieces; Holst: The Planets; Orff: Carmina Burana; R. Strauss: Also Sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30; and Tchaikovsky: Symphony No.6 “Pathétique” – a veritable Golden Age roster from the decades when the classical record industry was in its expansive pomp!
