Big, bold, and dynamic Double Plus (A++) sound brings these two Romantic works to life on this original Plum Label Mercury stereo pressing of SR 90122
This pressing has all the qualities that make analog so involving and pleasurable – the warmth, the richness, the naturalness, and above all the realism
An abundance of energy, loads of rich detail and texture, superb transparency and excellent clarity – the very definition of Demo Disc sound
Problems in the vinyl are sometimes the nature of the beast with these early pressings, but once you hear just how superb sounding this copy is, you might be inclined, as we were, to stop counting ticks and pops and just be swept away by the music
1958 was a simply phenomenal year for audiophile quality recordings – we’ve auditioned and reviewed more than a hundred and twenty so far, and there are undoubtedly a great many more that we’ve yet to discover, something we can look forward to in the coming years
Are audiophile reviewers paying attention to these amazing recordings anymore? And if not, why not? Too busy playing the flood of mediocre Heavy Vinyl pressings that hit the market every year? That would be my guess.
