REVIEW: DG ORIGINAL SOURCE Batch #6 Part 1 - Dvorak (Kubelik) and Grieg (Karajan) with comparisons

(Be sure to stay tuned at the end of the video for a fun Easter Egg, courtesy of director Ridley Scott from his pre-"Alien" days...!) In the first of two videos covering the latest releases in Deutsche Grammophon's Original Source All-Analogue Vinyl reissue series, I discuss Rafael Kubelik's recording of Dvorak's "New World" Symphony with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and Herbert von Karajan's recording of Grieg's Orchestral Suites from "Peer Gynt" and "Sigurd Jorsalfar", also with the BPO. I also offer comparisons with other audiophile LP versions of both works, including the recent Direct-to-Disc recording of the Dvorak with the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, courtesy of the folks at Emil Berliner Studios (who are also the engineering masterminds responsible for the Original Source Series).

My system, which has evolved over 25-plus years, is tube based and many pieces were acquired used. It was mostly put together with the invaluable help and ears of Eliot Midwood at Acoustic Image (https://acousticimage.com) who is also responsible for many of the fine recordings on the Yarlung label.
