Description
The Holy Grail of Cello Recordings
Up for auction is a breathtakingly rare White Label Promotional copy of Janos Starker performing Dvorak’s Cello Concerto in B Minor (Mercury Living Presence SR90303). This is not just a record; it is a piece of recording history.
Why This Pressing Matters:
-
35mm Magnetic Film: Recorded using 35mm magnetic film instead of standard 1/4" tape. This provided a wider frequency response and greater dynamic range, capturing Starker's cello with "in-the-room" realism.
-
White Label Promo: WLPs are the first off the press, struck from the freshest stampers before the mass retail run. They are prized by audiophiles for having the highest level of detail and lowest noise floor.
-
Starker & Dorati: The synergy between Janos Starker’s clinical precision and Antal Dorati’s majestic conducting of the London Symphony Orchestra is legendary.
