Some sensations occur without much ado, as they almost seem to be a matter of course. One such sensation took place at the Berlin Philharmonic Hall in February 1978, when Herbert von Karajan introduced the 14-year-old violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter to the Berlin public in Mozart's G major Concerto. After the young musician had gone through her baptism of fire with flying colours the conductor beamed and the Berlin Philharmonic players applauded enthusiastically — a rare occurrence. Her fellow-performers and the audience had been equally aware of how auspicious her debut had been.

The audiophile vinyl series The Original Source presents outstanding recordings from the 1970s in a whole new sound quality. For this, the renowned Emil Berliner Studios have remastered and cut the original four- and eight-track tapes in 100% analog quality (AAA) using technologies developed specifically to produce the series. The sonic differences to the original releases are considerable: greater clarity, more subtleties and improvements in frequency response, while at the same time less background noise, distortion and compression allow for an audiophile listening experience like never before.

On 180g vinyl records and in a deluxe gatefold edition with original covers and lyrics, accompanied by additional photos and facsimiles of the recording logs and tape boxes.
