Digital Booklet
This album from organist and composer Marcel Dupré marks his first collaboration with the Mercury Living Presence label, recorded in Detroit in October 1957. Detroit Symphony conductor Paul Paray, an associate of Dupré's from their youth, conducts the orchestra on Saint-Saëns's Organ Symphony, believed to be the first stereo recording of this work. The success of both this release and an album recorded in New York a few days later motivated the label to record five additional albums in 1959 with Dupré on the organist's home turf, at Saint-Sulpice in France.

This title is a high-resolution digital transfer of material originating from an analogue recording. It may be limited in bandwidth and dynamic range by the technology available at the time of its original creation, and is offered as a high-quality documentation of a historical release. Saint-Saëns’s “Organ” Symphony was recorded in the Henry and Edsel Ford Auditorium, Detroit, on October 12, 1957, on 3-track half-inch tape, using one Schoeps M201 microphone and two Neumann KM-56s. They were first released as SR90012. Recording Director: Wilma Cozart Musical Supervisor: Harold Lawrence Chief Engineer and Technical Supervisor: C. Robert Fine Analog to digital transfer by John K.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
