Claudio Abbado - Debussy: Trois Nocturnes / Ravel: Daphnis et Chloe, Pavane - Original Source Series LP

The Original Source Series — 100% Pure Analogue 180g Virgin Vinyl LP

In two February 1970 sessions, Claudio Abbado and the Boston Symphony Orchestra captured interpretations of Debussy's Trois Nocturnes, Ravel's Daphnis et Chloé suite, and his Pavane pour une infante défunte that soon became classics. For Deutsche Grammophon's Original Source Series, Emil Berliner Studios remastered the recording in 100% analog quality, cutting directly from the original 4-track ½-inch masters rather than 2-track tape copies. The result delivers greater clarity, more detail and improved frequency response with less noise, distortion and compression — the shortest possible path from the original master to the cutter head.
