Berliner Philharmoniker, Victor De Sabata This extraordinary double CD reunites for the first time all the recordings made in 1939 by Victor de Sabata with the Berliner Philharmoniker for Polydor. Each of these interpretations is a true masterpiece, a milestone in the history of 20th-century music performing. These documents are exceptional not only for artistic worth but also for recording quality, confirming the very high standards attained by German technology in those years. A very accurate digital remastering does full justice to the splendid sound of these recordings, which are probably among the best ever made before World War Two.
