Decca Pure Analogue | The Rite of Spring — Original UK London vs New Reissue

This video is the first title-by-title comparison review in Decca’s new Pure Analogue vinyl reissue series, focusing on Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring with Sir Georg Solti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Here, I compare: • An original UK London pressing • The new Decca Pure Analogue reissue I discuss the differences I heard between the two pressings, including presentation, balance, and overall character, within the context of this recording and its history.
