>>> Większa okładka A <<< • Charismatic Italian conductor Riccardo Muti was music director of the Philadelphia Orchestra from 1980 to 1992, which he led on numerous international tours and made many acclaimed recordings, including the first Beethoven cycle for CD. In 1992, he was appointed conductor laureate. • Muti was very much an EMI artist in the 1980s and EMI found a new recording venue in the Old Metropolitan Opera House in Philadelphia, the generous acoustic of which “enables this great orchestra to be heard to best advantage” as the GRAMOPHONE wrote in 1979. • Produced and engineered by Christopher Bishop and Michael Gray respectively. • Cut at Abbey Road Studios from the original stereo analogue master tapes with the Neumann VMS80 lathe fed an analogue pre-cut signal from a specially adapted Studer A80 tape deck with additional playback head.  Pressed on 180g vinyl to audiophile standards  Featuring the original album artwork  In the original 1979 review of the Mussorgsky Robert Layton in the GRAMOPHONE wrote: “...“...what orchestral playing they offer us. The lower strings in ‘Samuel Goldenberg and Schmuyle’ have an extraordinary richness, body and presence, and “Baba Yaga”, which opens the second side, has an unsurpassed virtuosity and attack as well as being of demonstration standard as a recording. The glorious body of tone, the richly glowing colours, the sheer homogeneity of the strings and perfection of the ensemble is a constant source of pleasure.”  Of the Stravinsky Layton wrote: “...Muti’s reading is second to none and the orchestral playing is altogether breathtaking. The recording is amazingly lifelike and truthful.” ---------------------------------- Płyta wytłoczona w nakładzie 1500 egzemplarzy!!!! Płyty wytwórni HI-Q Records - w naszej ofercie *
