In 1993 we initiated our From the Vault series of great re-issues. Our goals for this series are twofold: first, to make available fine albums of the 1950s, '60s and '70s that were both genuinely beloved and acclaimed as milestones. Second, to demonstrate the extraordinary sound quality captured on the best Masters of the period, quality which even the finest pressings could only partially convey.
From The Vault - Academy of St. Martin-In-The-Fields, Neville Marriner, Conductor. From 2 glorious 1974 Argo LPs. Edison Award. Among the Academy's best performances ever. Bach's Concerti for one, two, three harpsichords transcribed for oboe d'amour, oboe and violin, three violins... ( BWV 1053, 1055, 1060, & 1064 )
