Claudio Abbado, London Symphony Orchestra Stravinsky: Pulcinella (Original Source Series #12) Limited Vinyl LP
Overview:
With Pulcinella, Igor Stravinsky created one of the key works of his neoclassical period in 1920. Commissioned by the impresario Sergei Diaghilev, the ballet is based on characters from the Italian Commedia dell’Arte and combines 18th-century music with Stravinsky’s unmistakably modern musical language. Thanks to its original blend of historical source material, humour and brilliant orchestration, Pulcinella remains one of Stravinsky’s most popular works to this day. For the first time, this recording has been remastered and cut from the original 1-inch 8-track tapes. The audiophile vinyl series The Original Source presents outstanding recordings from the 1970s in a whole new sound quality. For this, the renowned Emil Berliner Studios have remastered and cut the original four- and eight-track tapes in 100% analog quality (AAA) using technologies developed specifically to produce the series. The sonic differences to the original releases are considerable: greater clarity, more subtleties and improvements in frequency response, while at the same time less background noise, distortion and compression allow for an audiophile listening experience like never before. On 180g vinyl records and in a deluxe gatefold edition with original covers and lyrics, the copies of this series are released limited and numbered, accompanied by additional photos and facsimiles of the recording logs and tape boxes.
