Andre Previn – Orff: Carmina Burana (180g LP)

“For the sound alone it would be a record to wallow in, but so vividly characterized a performance should win many new listeners and enjoyers.” Gramophone, October 1975
This recording of Carmina Burana dates from the zenith of André Previn’s golden era at the helm of the London Symphony Orchestra and has been newly cut at EMI’s Abbey Road Studios from the original stereo EMI Master Tapes. Produced and engineered by the legendary EMI team of Christopher Bishop and Christopher Parker. The album is pressed on 180-gram vinyl to audiophile standards and features the original album artwork. EMI made the recording in both stereo and quadraphonic, an early attempt at surround sound for the now defunct SQ vinyl format. HiQ has used the superior balance of the stereo master tapes.
