In the second of two videos I review the latest batch of Deutsche Grammophon's Original Source Vinyl Releases, mastered and cut all-analogue by Emil Berliner Studios from the original 4-track master tapes.
Here I talk about Karl Bohm's classic recording of Beethoven's 6th "Pastoral" Symphony with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, and Claudio Abbado's account of Brahms' 1st Symphony, also with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
I also discuss other landmark recordings of both works on vinyl and CD.
PLUS - a SURPRISE UNBOXING of the upcoming limited edition Giulini vinyl box set of Bruckner's Symphonies 7, 8, 9 with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, remastered and cut by Emil Berliner Studios.

My system, which has evolved over 20-plus years, is tube based and many pieces were acquired used. It was mostly put together with the invaluable help and ears of Eliot Midwood at Acoustic Image (acousticimage.com) who is also responsible for many of the fine recordings on the Yarlung label.
