Made on an Analogic 16-Bit ADC with Three-Bit Sync Pattern and Even Parity to Form 20-Bit Word: Audiophile 180g Vinyl LP of The Four Seasons Cut on Stan Ricker’s Equipment, Pressed at Optimal in Germany
Craft Recordings honors the legacy of Telarc Records by re-releasing four of its most famous titles in their long and storied catalog on vinyl LP for the first time in over thirty-five years. These Telarc LPs were made on an Analogic MP8016 16-bit Analog to Digital convertor with a three-bit sync pattern and an even-parity bit added to form a 20-bit word. Cut by Eric Boulanger on Stan Ricker’s original equipment, purchased from Ricker’s estate after his passing. Pressed by Optimal in Germany to ensure audiophile quality. Hear these famous performances with intense dynamics intact.
Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons is the best-loved work by this baroque composer, four movements which display his imaginative use of melody, rhythm, harmony and musical texture. Seiji Ozawa had a fondness for more modern compositions, his efforts on this 1982 release with the world-renowned Boston Symphony Orchestra showcase his versatility by recording one of the finest ever performances of The Four Seasons, and the standard by which many future recordings would come to be judged. With over 500,000 albums sold since its original release, it’s no wonder that this recording would be chosen as one of the initial four vinyl releases by Craft Recordings.
