David Oistrakh, Mstislav Rostropovich, Sviatoslav Richter, Herbert von Karajan Beethoven Triple Concerto

EMI waited many years to get these legendary artists together for this recording and the result was one of the greatest recordings this work has ever received. This latest reissue has been newly cut at EMI's Abbey Road Studios from the original stereo EMI Master Tapes. It was recorded at Berlin's Jesus-Christ Church on 28 & 29 September 1969 and produced by Peter Andry.
"Cut at Abbey Road Studios from the original stereo analogue master tapes with the Neumann VMS82 lathe fed an analogue pre-cut signal from a specially adapted Studer A80 tape deck with additional 'advance' playback head, making the cut a totally analogue process. Pressed using the original EMI presses at The Vinyl Factory in Hayes, England"
"Even in these days of star-studded casting on record, the line-up for this latest version of the Triple Concerto is nothing short of breathtaking. So breathtaking I was worried that my expectations would run ahead of all possible achievement. But not so. This is a marvellous performance that will clearly remain a classic for years to come" - Edward Greenfield, Gramophone, September 1970
