VERDI Requiem - New full stereo remastering
"Toscanini conducts the work as if inspired by an apocalyptic vision of Death and Judgement, and the result—neither operatic nor melodramatic —is indescribably thrilling"
Thus wrote the Gramophone reviewer in 1956. If only he were able to hear this new remastering. Nearly 60 years after the broadcast, the discovery that a second, high quality recording was made using a different microphone, and that if mixed together a stereo version of this all-time classic would be possible, has exciting Toscanini fans around the world.
After much painstaking work, the results are even better than we'd ever hoped or expected. A milestone recording for Pristine. |
