Deutsche Grammophon Original Masters Series


I was wondering what people think of the mono reissues that comprise the DGG Original Masters Series? I have really enjoyed the Kempff rereleases myself and wanted to get some other opinions on this series.

Thanks!

Unless they have changed recently, the problem I have with DG is the sound quality of their CD's is poor at best IMHO.

They screw it up in the mixing process whether a reissue of an LP onto CD, or a brand new recording.

If they just put the analog recording straight to CD with no remixing, it would be a huge improvement. The problem is they think they sound good the way they are mixing them.

They do sound good on a boom box or car stereo. I guess that is their market.

I'd collect the original LPs and get a turntable if I were you.
