Georg SoltiAbout
Commemorating the 25th anniversary of Sir Georg Solti’s passing.
“The Greatest Recording of All Time”, now sounding better than ever before.
Transferred and remastered in HD sound at 24bit / 192kHz from the original two-track stereo mastertapes.
The first all-new transfer in over twenty-five years.
The first-ever stereo production of Wagner’s Ring cycle, still considered the benchmark today.
“Here is the greatest achievement in gramophone history yet”, wrote Gramophone in 1965. For many, it still is.
All four opera in the cycle will be released in Deluxe Vinyl editions:
- Lacquers cut using half-speed mastering technique by Miles Showell, Abbey Road Studios
- 180g heavyweight vinyl pressed at Optimal Media GmbH in Germany
- Lavishly illustrated booklets featuring technical information on the new HD remaster and original recording techniques, introduction to each opera by Producer John Culshaw, synopses and libretti in English & German plus many original session photographs and rare facsimiles.
“The greatest of all the achievements in the history of the gramophone record” – Gramophone Magazine
“No one has bettered Solti’s Decca Ring in terms of sweep, scope, grandeur, dramatic immediacy, and sheer adrenalin” – Stereophile
