Originally recorded in quadraphonic sound for Philips, it remains a benchmark interpretation and one of the defining recordings of Davis's celebrated Berlioz legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this release, Rainer Maillard at Emil Berliner Studios utilised the original four-track quadraphonic master tape to create a new stereo mix sent directly to the cutter head, maintaining a fully analogue signal path throughout. The Philips engineers of the 1970s would similarly have mixed the four front and rear channels before cutting, but this would have resulted in a two-track stereo copy for mastering. Here, the lacquer is cut directly from a live stereo mix of the original quadraphonic master.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This is one of the most tantalising records I have had to review... here at last is the version of the \u003cem\u003eSymphonie fantastique\u003c\/em\u003e we have all been waiting for from our, and the world's, principal Berlioz conductor.\" — Gramophone\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sir Colin Davis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48940190007449,"sku":"4871607","price":64.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/7702\/3897\/files\/028948716074_ColinDavis-BerliozSymphoniefantastique_3DD2C_e277b92c-7702-40cf-9a52-ca6dd94dbb14.png?v=1787807493","url":"https:\/\/thesoundofvinyl.com.au\/products\/sir-colin-davis-berlioz-symphonie-fantastique-lp","provider":"The Sound of Vinyl AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
