- Herbert von Karajan conducts the Berlin Philharmonic !

After Mahler's fifth symphony was published as part of The Original Source Series, the sixth by the unbeatable duo Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic follows. The Gramophone Classical Music Guide describes the recording as "a masterful achievement by composer, conductor and orchestra alike." Mixed and cut from the original 8-track tapes, this edition provides a breathtaking listening experience of the highest analog sound quality.

The audiophile vinyl series The Original Source presents outstanding recordings from the 1970s in a completely new sound quality. To achieve this, the renowned Emil Berliner Studios remastered and edited the original 4- and 8-track tapes in 100% analog quality (AAA) using technologies developed specifically for the production of the series. The sonic differences compared to the original releases are considerable: Greater clarity, more subtleties and improvements in frequency response, as well as less background noise, distortion and compression enable an audiophile listening experience like never before.

The copies in this series are released limited and numbered on 180-gram vinyl records and in a deluxe gatefold edition with original covers and lyrics, accompanied by additional photos and facsimiles of the recording protocols and tape boxes.
