W. Rajski & Polish Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra: Beethoven - Symphonies 1-9 Boxset / 9LPsTacke

A Beethoven cycle that is fun from the first to the last note! Wojciech Rajski guides us through the sheer inexhaustible wealth of ideas energetically and sensitively, humorously and dance-like, with radiant elegance.

And he brings to light details that have not been heard before. Pleasure without pathos. The highly acclaimed series was recorded between 2005 and 2015 in Sopot, Poland, and in St. John's Church in Gdansk.

But Rajski's Beethoven not only has musical qualities that go far beyond the "normal", it also sets recording standards. The Inspiring Tube Sound with tube microphones from TACET, for example, continues to find

new enthusiastic fans. That's why the series is now being released once again, as an exclusive, limited LP box set for collectors, containing all the symphonies on 9 LPs.The vinyl was pressed at PALLAS in Germany,

the transfer in the "half-speed process" was done by SST in Frankfurt. Sides 10, 14 and 18 are cut in the legendary "Play Backwards" process. Here, the needle is placed on the inside of the LP and the tonearm is

transported to the outside in the direction of the run-out groove (so please don't worry about crashing tonearms!). The anti-skating does not have to be adjusted for this. This procedure brings sonic advantages, since

especially dynamic passages are further out on the LP, where there is more space for sampling high frequencies.

The LPs are pressed on 180-gram vinyl and packaged in lined inner sleeves. A large-format explanation of the recordings is included in both German and English. The box set comes in an especially high-quality presentation

in a linen-covered box with a gold rim on the lid and sequential serial numbers. The worldwide edition is limited to 1,000 copies. Each box is personally signed by producer and TACET mastermind Andreas Spreer.

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
