Will Boskovsky - New Year's Day Concert In Vienna - Decca Pure Analogue LP

180g Gatefold Double LP, Decca Pure Analogue Series

The 1979 New Year's Day Concert in Vienna proved a watershed moment — the end of an era for Willi Boskovsky, the Wiener Philharmoniker's longstanding concertmaster. Long known as Decca's first digitally recorded release, recent research unearthed a set of analog masters that had remained undisturbed in Universal Music's vaults for nearly half a century. This edition launches Decca's all-analogue Pure Analogue series, using only original analogue sources with no digital processing in the signal path. Presented in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with original artwork, archival photos and bespoke notes.
