These are not just performances of repertoire; they are interpretations shaped by the conductor’s own heritage and identity.\u003cbr\u003eAnd then there is the sound itself. These are stereo recordings from the golden age, the late 1950s and early 1960s, when engineers captured orchestras with a natural balance and warmth that has rarely been equaled since. The strings bloom with richness, the quartet emerges distinctly yet never feels isolated, and the spaciousness of the hall is preserved without artifice. This is stereo at its most honest: vivid, but never gaudy.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e Conductor – Sir John Barbirolli\u003cbr\u003eOrchestra – Sinfonia Of London\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecording Info: \u003c\/strong\u003eIntroduction And Allegro, Fantasia On 'Greensleeves': Kingsway Hall, London, 10-11th May 1962\u003cbr\u003eFantasia On A Theme By Thomas Tallis: Temple Church, London, 17th May 1962\u003cbr\u003eEngineer: Neville Boyling\u003cbr\u003eProducer: Victor Olof \u003cbr\u003eSourced from an  EMI White\/Gold original pressing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComponents used for this transfer: \u003c\/strong\u003eAnalog: Transferred using a VPI - HW-40 Anniversary Direct Drive Turntable - Cartridge used Ortofon MC Anna Diamond - \u003cspan\u003eCustom Phono Preamp designed by Victor Khomenko of Balanced Audio Technology\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDigital: Merging Hapi Analog to Digital Converter, clocked by an Antelope Audio 10MX Atomic Clock\u003cbr\u003ePower Conditioning: Shunyata Research Everest 8000 for all components\u003cbr\u003eAll components grounded to Shunyata \u003cspan\u003eALTAIRA Hubs\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Introduction And Allegro, Op. 47 For String Quartet And String Orchestra\u003cbr\u003eEnsemble – Allegri String Quartet 13:58\u003cbr\u003eSerenade In E Minor, Op. 20 \u003cbr\u003e2 I.
