The XR remastering process was able to add further definition and clarity to the orchestral sound, and as these were true stereo recordings, there has been no requirement for our Ambient Stereo process. Note here that in 1956 and 1957 Decca had two separate and simultaneous recordings operations going on, with seperate equipment and engineers for mono and stereo recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen reviewing the original stereo issue for \u003cem\u003eThe Gramophone\u003c\/em\u003e, T.H. wrote:\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"body\" align=\"left\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e    This was always a coupling of favourite performances of mine and it is delightful to have them now in such good stereo. Krips plays Schumann with all the innate sympathy of a true Schumann lover. He often doesn't hurry himself, but by getting the lightest of playing he avoids ever getting stodgy. The opening of No. 4 did strike me again as slow (and that means that the slow movement itself will also have to be slow, of course, for some of the music is the same), but it is well phrased and I found I soon accepted it quite happily.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    The felicities of the performances are many and the Spring symphony, in particular, gets outstandingly happy playing. (Incidentally, Krips restores the opening call for horns and trumpets to the pitch at which Schumann originally wrote it—a third lower than printed in the scores.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    The stereo sound is notable for the clarity of its detail and altogether there is no possible doubt that Krips' Schumann is vastly preferable to the very unsympathetic conducting of Paray, the only stereo rival.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"body\" align=\"left\"\u003eAlthough the fourth symphony has seen CD reissue some 19 years ago, we can find no reissue of this recording of the first symphony during the CD era - the superb LSO discography details its last commercial outing as a 1978 LP issue.\u003c\/p\u003e578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"bodybigblue\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSymphony No. 1 \"Spring\" in B flat, Op. 38\u003c\/strong\u003e (1841)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"bodybigblue\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSymphony No. 4 in D minor, Op. 120\u003c\/strong\u003e (1841, rev. 1851)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLondon Symphony Orchestra\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003econducted by \u003cb\u003eJosef Krips\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"bodysmallarial\"\u003eSymphony 1 recorded 23-4 May, 1957;
