This May 1975 recording of Dvorák’s New World Symphony was one of the last to be made quadraphonically by Philips and specially remixed for this reissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor this release Rainer Maillard at Emil Berliner Studios has used the original, four-track quadraphonic master tape to make a new stereo mix sent directly to the cutter head. This preserves a pure analogue path throughout. The Philips engineers of the 1970s would similarly have mixed the four front and rear channels before cutting but this downmix would have resulted in a two-track stereo copy for mastering, whereas here the lacquer is cut directly from a ‘live’ mix into stereo from the four Quad channels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51567555182887,"sku":"028948716067","price":48.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/4512350-3590869.jpg?v=1783139579","url":"https:\/\/www.corkyscoffee.com\/products\/seiji-ozawa-san-francisco-symphony-dvorak-symphony-9-new-world-vinyl","provider":"Corkys Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
