Continuing here another sale run of rare, top-choice audiophile disks at V.S.O.V. (Stay Tuned for More!), on offer is a superb exemplar of the famous, Pioneering Telarc Digital Stereo recording techniques for World-Class vinyl disks. This Vintage 1979 Telarc album, Serial Num.10042, ranks high among the very finest, most inspiring early Digital Stereo disk productions ever. It offers stunning performances of two great Russian orchestral showpieces ideally suited to show off the gorgeous, near-peerless sonics that Telarc's Germany-based Digital Stereo production process could achieve. See photo of first inner page of gate-fold album liner notes for full details on that meticulous recording and disk creation process. This Exceptional vinyl issue offers the great Lorin Maazel in his conducting prime leading the superlative Cleveland Orchestra in Moussorgsky's majestic high Romantic Era symphonic tone poems: Pictures at an Exhibition and Night on a Bald Mountain. Penguin Classical Guide adores both of these recordings, avowing: "richly sonorous presentation of the deep brass and the sparkling yet unexaggerated percussion...the Cleveland Orchestra in top form... the "Pictures" are strongly characterized...each of Moussorgsky's cameos comes vividly to life...a vibrantly rythmic "Baba-Yaga" strong in fantastic menace and the closing "Great Gate of Kiev" is overwhelmingly spacious in conception and quite riveting as sheer sound, with the richness and amplitude of the brass which make the work's final climax unforgettable." So, of course, you MUST buy this glorious album Right Now! This example is First Edition with Early Pressings: Disk Deadwax hand-engraved A-29 M 1 (Side 1); and B-38 M 1 (Side 2).
