With incredible Nearly Triple Plus (A++ to A+++) sound on both TAS-approved sides, this original Turquoise label pressing of this orchestral spectacular is practically as good a copy as we have ever heard, right up there with our Shootout Winner
Exceptionally (and unusually) quiet for a Vox pressing too – noisy vinyl is the rule and not the exception
It’s an extraordinary recording, and so wonderful on this pressing that after playing it, you may agree with us that few other classical Demo Discs are in its league
The bottom end of this record is powerful and solid like no other classical LP we’ve played in a very long time – this is the way to record tympani!
Other orchestral recordings with powerful drums can be found here
The sound is dynamic, lively and big – jumping out of the speakers and bringing the power and the vibrant colors of the symphony right into your listening room
With solid Double Plus (A++) sound or close to it on both TAS-approved sides, this original Turquoise label pressing of this orchestral spectacular is doing just about everything right
Fairly quiet for a Vox pressing too – noisy vinyl is the rule and not the exception
It’s an extraordinary recording, and so wonderful on this pressing that after playing it, you may agree with us that few other classical Demo Discs are in its league (particularly on side two)
The bottom end on side two of this record is powerful and solid, and side one is not far behind in both those areas – this is the way to record tympani!
The sound is dynamic, lively and big – jumping out of the speakers and bringing the power and the vibrant colors of the symphony right into your listening room (also particularly on side two)
True, side one earned a minimal Hot Stamper grade of 1.5+, but we still guarantee that it will beat the pants off any Heavy Vinyl reissue, because every one of those that we played was opaque, muddy and thick enough to have us crying “uncle” after five minutes
