Great Recordings of the Century is EMI's flagship series of classical re-issues.
Each title that makes an appearance in its catalogue is unquestionably a landmark recording, a standard to which all others aspire. Featured are some of the most exceptional artists the classical music world has ever known (Maria Callas, Herbert von Karajan, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Yehudi Menuhin, Dinu Lipatti and many more). Every recording in the series has been digitally remastered: a subtle modification that enhances each and every one with a stronger sense of presence and realism to bring the best possible sound quality. Every set has a new booklet and it is fair to say that even those who possess earlier versions of the great recordings will find new pleasures in the realisation. All Great Recordings of the Century titles - of which there are currently over 150 - are available at mid-price.
‘A distinguished series of beautifully presented reissues.’
Gramophone
‘EMI’s Great Recordings of the Century is exactly what it says: these classic interpretations warrant a place in everybody’s collection.’
