Popis - NEW WORLD SYMPHONY -HQ- [VINYL]:
In 1955 Herbert von Karajan was appointed music director for life of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. However, Von Karajan continued his close association with the Philharmonia Orchestra during the rest of the 1950s and with the orchestra's founder and legendary EMI Producer, Walter Legge. EMI remained (on their Columbia label) Von Karajan's record company until 1959 when he signed a contract with Deutsche Grammophon. Hence, this recording was made towards the end of his contract with EMI, although he would return to the label in future years for occasional projects (like the Beethoven Triple Concerto on HIQLP006). Recorded in Berlin's Grunewaldkirche on 18, 19 & 20 May 1958. Produced by the legendary Walter Legge, assisted by Fritz Ganss and engineered by Horst Lindner. 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.
