This classic recording from the golden era of André Previn and the London Symphony Orchestra has been cut at EMI's Abbey Road Studios from the original EMI master tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl.

Recorded at London's much missed Kingsway Hall on September 28 & 29, 1973. Produced and engineered by the legendary EMI team of Christopher Bishop and Christopher Palmer.

EMI made the recording in both stereo and quadraphonic, an early attempt at surround sound for the now defunct SQ vinyl format. HiQ has used the stereo master tapes, from which Borwick detected...benefits as definition...

"The solo violin part in "Venus" (and in "Mercury", for that matter) is beautifully played. "Mercury" is a wonder of virtuosity, especially in the strings, with great delicacy in both playing and recording." - GRAMOPHONE, July 1974. John Borwick, Audio editor of Gramophone added: "Instrumental timbre is excitingly realistic and the internal balance of the LSO would seem to have been captured with great fidelity."
