This stunning audiophile LP from Universal Classics Japan (UCJG-9012, Japanese pressing, white circle label, heavy jacket and vinyl, stereo, with Obi) features Karl Bohm and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra’s resplendent accounts of Mozart’s Symphonies No. 40 in G minor K. 550 and No. 41 in C Major K. 551 “Jupiter”, first issued by DG on 138 672 SLPM.

 

Both works were recorded in the rich acoustics of Jesus-Christus-Kirche, Berlin – the former in December 1961 and the latter in March 1962.

 

These Japanese audiophile pressing from Universal Classics are quite remarkable – both the jacket and LP are quite thick and highly attractive – outstanding issues in every way.

 

The executive producer for these sessions was Dr. Hans Hirsch, the recording supervisor Wolfgang Lohse, and the engineer Alfred Wetler.

 

Titles are in English (both on the jacket and on the LP itself); the remaining text (including the liner notes) are in Japanese. The striking cover photo of Bohm / jacket design is uncredited.

 

CONDITION:

The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.

 

The condition of the jacket is near-MINT. Really there are no flaws to speak of and the album appears virtually as new. There are no seamsplits, bends, or owners' markings, and the album remains solid, bright, glossy, and highly attractive in appearance – overall, this rates as an outstanding collector's copy.

 

The condition of the LP itself is near-MINT. Though the surfaces are not perfectly silent (and thus I have rated it NM vs. MINT) this is a fine copy and playback is superb. If you must have perfect surfaces, then please do not buy this LP. Overall, this rates as a NM collector's copy.
