Hybrid Stereo SACD & CD!
Experience overwhelming sonics on this Decca Hybrid Stereo SACD. Mahler Symphony No. 3 by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Zubin Mehta with Maureen Forrester, contralto. Considered to be one of the best Decca recordings; made in March 1978 in Royce Hall, U.S.A. by recording engineers James Lock and Simon Eadon. Mastered by noted mastering engineer Willem Makkee from the original tapes.
"Mehta has made a specialty out of Mahler's Third Symphony. The massive first movement, with its outstanding inner detail of the lower registers of the orchestra, may be the best ever recorded, especially if you are primarily considering the sound...The timpani at the end and the final sumptuous chord have never sounded so good on a recording." - Arthur Lintgren, The Absolute Sound, January 2019
