Decca Pure Analogue | Sibelius: Symphonies Nos. 5 & 7, Tapiola — Colin Davis / Boston Symphony

This video continues my look at Decca’s Pure Analogue vinyl reissue series, focusing on Sibelius: Symphonies Nos. 5 & 7 and Tapiola, performed by Sir Colin Davis and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. This release is cut from analog tape at Emil Berliner Studios, with Rainer Maillard responsible for mastering and Sidney Meyer cutting the lacquers. The source is a four-track quadraphonic recording, newly mixed down to stereo for this release. In this video, I explore: • The music itself and Sibelius’s distinctive orchestral language • The sound quality of this pressing • The packaging and presentation • The performance and its place within the Sibelius discography For an overview of the full Decca Pure Analogue series, including production details and the other titles in this program, see the earlier video here: 👉 Inside Decca’s Pure Analogue Classical Vinyl Reissues https://youtu.be/sRLqouRUCyU Additional videos in this series — including The Rite of Spring and the Vienna New Year’s Day Concert — are available or forthcoming.
