RECORDING INFORMATION
Once in a while something surprisingly magical happens — the combination of a certain orchestra and conductor, which was never expected to work out in the first place, does so with great success. When, in the early seventies, Josef Krips and the Concertgebouw Orchestra started playing the Mozart symphonies, of which we’ve included Numbers 40 and 41 in this set, there was magic in the building all right and the Dutch players sounded as fresh and polished in Mozart as ever before.

You may have heard these brilliant recordings, but you’ve never heard them in 24 bits-96kHz sound before … here’s your chance!
