This is the first high-definition release of a famous recording of a famous concert, in a brand new restoration prepared for release in DSD256 format and other digital download formats, and also available on regular CD. Judy Garland’s live concert at Carnegie Hall on April 23, 1961 was by all accounts a pinnacle in her career as a concert artist. The great Capitol LP recording of that event, which won five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year and Best Female Vocal Performance, remained on the Billboard charts for 73 weeks, including 13 weeks at the number one spot. HDTT’s goal has been to present as realistic a sonic image as possible of Garland appearing live on the stage of Carnegie Hall, performing in front of the brilliant accompanying forty-piece orchestra led by Mort Lindsey. HDTT’s high definition transfer yields a level of detail and a balance of Garland with the orchestra unheard in all prior releases of this great event, making this release a culmination of all that has gone before.

The Closest thing to being there!
Judy Garland's concert at Carnegie Hall in 1961 is legendary. Unfortunately, the original recording was jazzed up with artificial engineering effects and was abridged to fit on a double vinyl album. Fortunately, the original tapes of the concert survive. Using up-to-date engineering techniques, High Def Tape Transfers has restored the sound and missing content. The result is as if this concert was recorded yesterday. It is as good as many recent recordings that were recorded digitally. Judy's comments and chit chat between songs are included. So if you have the old vinyl recording or the early CD transfers, you might want to pick up this remastered album and get the closest thing to being there!.
