R. STRAUSS: EINE ALPENSINFONIE OP 64

Few orchestral pieces demand precision engineering as much as Richard Strausss An Alpine Symphony. The Decca recording by Sir Georg Solti and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra was made in 1979, one of the last Decca analog productions before the switch to digital. Solti knew Strauss personally and studied the composers own recording before taping this uniquely authentic performance in Munich. Recorded by Decca at the Herkulessaal, Munich, in September 1979, the original 1/4-inch, two-track stereo tapes have been mastered by Rainer Maillard and cut by Sidney C. Meyer at Emil Berliner Studios. Pressed on 180g vinyl in gatefold jacket. Decca Pure Analogue Series is limited and numbered.
