Album insights
To celebrate Ravel's 150th birthday and Seiji Ozawa's first anniversary of passing, we are releasing a limited and numbered 4-LP vinyl edition featuring Ozawa's recordings of the composer's orchestral works with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Ozawa served as the Chief Conductor of the BSO from 1973 to 2002, and these Ravel recordings stand as among their most remarkable achievements. All recordings have been newly remastered from the original eight-track tapes (except for one LP side initially recorded on four tracks) and mixed by the prestigious Emil Berliner Studios. Each vinyl is housed in a deluxe gatefold showcasing original artwork and complemented by photos documenting the recording process.
