Long hailed as an audiophile's label, Mercury represents an important milestone in the history of classical recordings
As The New York Times described, "One feels oneself in the living presence of the orchestra"
Inspired by the success of the limited edition Decca Sound LP Set, Decca is creating a six-LP Mercury Living Presence numbered limited edition featuring such celebrated artists as Antal Dorati, Rafael Kubelik, Gina Bachauer, Byron Janis, Janos Starker, and Henryk Szeryng
Mercury Living Presence is special in many ways - an American company, from the heyday of classical recording in the U.S., that reproduced some of the most sonically realistic recordings at the dawn of the stereo era. Precious few stereo LPs were pressed when these recordings were issued, and they became some of the rarest, most collectible classical discs ever. Mercury Living Presence continues to enjoy a special reputation as one of the most enterprising, prestigious and sonically-spectacular labels in the history of classical recording.
Some of these recordings have been available on CD and on SACD. However, many are now deleted and only available second-hand or through auction sellers at pemium prices. Mercury Living Presence continues to enjoy a special reputation as one of the most enterprising, prestigous and sonically-spectacular labels in the history of classical recording.
