Eastman-Rochester “Pops” Orchestra, Frederick Fennell : HiFi a la Espaola (Half-Speed Vinyl Reissue Series)

This audiophile series sources the original first-generation master tapes, with HD transfers made at Abbey Road Studios. Master files, including 3-to-2 mixes for stereo titles, were produced by Thomas Fine, son of the original producer and recording engineer for the majority of Mercury Living Presence titles. An early favorite with audiophiles, this delightful and passionate album of Spanish and Latin American themed compositions will test the best modern-day playback systems. Recorded in the Eastman Theater, Rochester NY, March 25, 1957 with a Schoeps M201 microphone in the center and Neumann KM-56’s on the left and right sides.
