Igor and David Oistrakh – Bach Concertos

Vintage Stereo Recording on DG / Tulip

Japanese Pressing

Deutsche Grammophon SLGM - 1117

Original vintage DG recording (138820) in excellent condition.  Yellow and blue DG “Tulip” label, surrounded by a band tulips (See photo). 

This is an outstanding Japanese pressing.  I just sold the German pressing of it and did a listening comparison before shipping.  While the German pressing sounds wonderful, very quiet, dynamic, and clear.  This Japanese pressing was like listening to a totally different performance.  The first thing you notice is the depth of the bass.  It appers to be extended by close to an octive.  Then you notice the width and depth of the sound stage.  Finally the clarity and palcement of each instrument is rock solid.  This is definitely a superior pressing.  I cannot believe that it was pressed from the German master.  They must have created new masters from the tape.  There is some surface static, but the quality of the audio negates the slight noise.  This is why vinyl still rules!

The inner band markings are:

Side 1:  60399 A-1

Side 2:  60400 B-1-14

The vinyl looks shiny and new and is in excellent visual condition.  There are several scuffs on each side that are barely audible.  This record plays extremely well and sounds spectacular.   The dynamics are superb. 

The yellow and blue DG “Tulip” label is in perfect condition on both sides (see photo).  

The Cover is in great shape.  All seams are in great condition.  No writing, splits, notches, cuts, or holes.  The original DG poly-lined inner sleeve is slightly yellowed from age, but physically in perfect condition.  

An outstanding performance by David and Igor Oistrakh.
