芝加哥知名發燒廠牌 Mercury 破天荒推出 6LP 套裝組,讓您一次享有不容錯過的類比經典。成立於一九四五年的Mercury,在單聲道時期,以單隻德律風根 U-47 錄製芝加哥交響樂團演奏的《展覽會之畫》,驚人爆棚效果,讓Mercury 的錄音贏得「Living Presence」的美譽。立體錄音問世之後,以三軌錄音重現精準音場,更率先使用 35 mm 電影膠卷錄製南北戰爭音樂與戰場音效,錄音規模創下空前紀錄。Mercury 更於冷戰時期帶著先進設備前進莫斯科,留下許多珍貴錄音。

Mercury Living Presence is special in many ways - an American company, from the heyday of classical recording in the U.S., that reproduced some of the most sonically realistic recordings at the dawn of the stereo era. Precious few stereo LPs were pressed when these recordings were issued, and they became some of the rarest, most collectible classical discs ever. Mercury Living Presence continues to enjoy a special reputation as one of the most enterprising, prestigious and sonically-spectacular labels in the history of classical recording.
