DG ORIGINAL SOURCE VINYL REVIEW: BIG SURPRISES!! Giulini's "Eroica" & Anne-Sophie Mutter's Mozart

Two big surprises here... records I did not expect to like as much as I did (especially the Mozart). Superstar violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter's first ever recording with Herbert von Karajan and the Berliners playing Mozart... Plus Carlo Maria Giulini's first recording after being appointed Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra - an unlikely but rewarding partnership that is still talked about in my adopted city today. How do they sound after they get the Original Source sonic makeover courtesy of Emil Berliner Studios? CORRECTION!!! - The Giulini "Eroica" was actually recorded in the main auditorium of the Shrine, not in the Expo Hall.
