180-gram vinyl
"Returning to vinyl is Karajan's celebrated recording of Greig's Peer Gynt Suites with the Berliner Philharmoniker. "Very impressive indeed. Somehow one feels that one could stretch out and touch the players, so vivid is the sound here. Peer Gynt is most beautifully done. … there's no want of atmosphere here – quite the contrary! Not to put too fine a point on it, this is a marvelous recording." — Gramophone
