Pressed at Pallas Germany - AAA 100% Analogue 

With this recording the word “transparent” takes on new meaning. Your system will disappear leaving a choir hovering three-dimensionally in space. Seriously.- Sound 11/10 Michael Fremmer Analogue Planet 

"What better time than now for the all-analog resurrection of this Chesky classic? ... O Magnum Mysterium is a mesmerizing, transportive album of sacred music for mixed choir and organ performed by the 25 men and women of the Westminster Choir accompanied by organist Nancianne Parrella, conducted by Joseph Flummerfelt. ... Chesky originally issued this in 1993 on both vinyl  and CD but I've heard neither. However, I suspect this reissue will top the original. Chesky Records supplied to Scott Hull at Masterdisk the original 2 track master tape. He cut it directly from the tape, which used no noise reduction, equalization, compression or limiting. That was true of the lacquer mastering as well (of course it uses RIAA equalization but that's all). Pallas pressed it and the result is a dead-quiet record. If this record doesn't sound as I've described it, it's your system's fault! Available from Acoustic Sounds." — Music = 10/11; Sound Miichael Fremer, AnalogPlanet

Lacquers cut by Scott Hull at Masterdisk

Full analog mastering from the original 2-track master tapes!

"Working in conjunction with David Chesky ( Chesky Records ) We were handed the original 2-track analog masters and I have kept the entire audio path analog. What you hear on this vinyl is exactly what the producer intended. In this case, the result is very detailed and pure. Moving and emotional only partially describe my reaction when hearing these tapes. The choir's performance and the richness of the recording are outstanding." — Scott Hull, mastering engineer, Masterdisk
