Category: Atmos Redux

New arrivals of older classical recordings remastered in excellent modern Dolby Atmos surround sound are coming thick and fast. This is your guide to what’s best and how to find it.

Kevin's Top 3 Recommendations

  1. Wagner: Götterdämmerung (Atmos) · Georg Solti (conductor), Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Birgit Nilsson (Brünnhilde), Wolfgang Windgassen (Siegfried), Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (Gunther), Gottlob Frick (Hagen), Claire Watson (Gutrune), Christa Ludwig (Waltraute)

    Solti's Ring, produced by John Culshaw, and their final installment Götterdämmerung in 1964, revolutionized opera recording and sounds great today.

  2. Trevor Pinnock, Corelli Op. 6 Concertos · The English Concert, Trevor Pinnock (director/harpsichord); Simon Standage, Micaela Comberti (concertino violins)

    The Dolby Atmos reissue of this lovely icon of the 1980s Baroque revival still stands the test of time, and sounds even fresher in surround.

  3. Vladimir Horowitz Live and Unedited · Vladimir Horowitz

    Vladimir Horowitz's legendary 1965 recital in his historic return to Carnegie Hall sounds better than ever in surround.
