Rafael Kubelik - Dvorak: Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" [Original Source Series]

The repertoire of star conductor Rafael Kubelík was extensive and varied, and of course the great Czech composers always played an important role in it. Many of Kubelík’s interpretations became cult, including the 1972 recording of Antonín Dvořák's 9th Symphony ‘From the New World’ with the Berlin Philharmonic: The Maestro has thus “captured the enthusiasm of his players and generates a sense of excitement and poetry” (Gramophone).
For its 125th birthday, Deutsche Grammophon started releasing legendary recordings with highest sound standards: 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 edited the original four-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 band boxes, and an article explains the exact technical background.
