SEIJI OZAWA & BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA : Hector Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique

For its 125th birthday, Deutsche Grammophon is releasing legendary recordings with highest sound standards: The new 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 era of Seiji Ozawa as principal conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra spanned an impressive 29 years – a period of unparalleled musical excellence. Even before officially taking office, Ozawa and his orchestra created a multi-faceted recording of Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique on Deutsche Grammophon that was praised by the New York Times as particularly ‘light and mercurial’.
