The company's name, "Deutsche Grammophon," translates to "German Gramophone" in English, reflecting its origins in the early days of recorded music. Initially, the label focused on producing gramophone records, which were an innovative technology at the time, allowing music to be stored and replayed for a wider audience.
Throughout its history, Deutsche Grammophon has been associated with numerous musical legends, including conductors like Herbert von Karajan, Leonard Bernstein, and Claudio Abbado, as well as exceptional performers like pianists Vladimir Horowitz and Martha Argerich, violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, and cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, among others.

Beyond classical music, Deutsche Grammophon has occasionally ventured into other genres, collaborating with popular artists and exploring crossover projects. However, it has always remained committed to its core mission of promoting classical music and preserving the legacy of great musicians.
The iconic yellow label with the "DG" logo has become synonymous with excellence in classical recordings. For many music enthusiasts, purchasing a Deutsche Grammophon album is a mark of quality and a guarantee of exceptional performances and sound engineering.

The DG yellow label is the best for classical music -in my opinion -excellent!
I'm a fan 'n collector o' Archiv Produktion recordings, an offshoot o' the Deutsche Grammophon label which features vintage instrumentation. I recently purchased their 50-CD limited edition box set o' analogue stereo recordings 1959-1981 which includes a wide variety classical masterpieces. A marvelous collection.
Great
I have collected Deutsche Grammophon on vinyl & cd with a passion since the 80's. It is far and away my favourite label.
@davidellis5141 Thanks for watching!
Exactly the same for me!
same for me, my dream label since 1981...
Merci pour cette vidéo sur Lee label le plus enblematique de la musique dites " classique" j'ai 71 ans et il y 50 ans les disques de ce label coûtaient très cher ( entre 30 et 60 francs , alors que les prix étaient entre 20 et 30 francs) mais le CD a changé ( un peu) les choses mais il n'y a pas que D G,DECCA EST TOUJOURS LÀ ET RÉÉDITE DES MERVEILLES,AINSI QUE SONY,RCA ET DES DIZAINES DE LABEL TRES INTÉRESSANT ,danke🥰
Bought and enjoyed the Original Source Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique by the Boston S.O conducted by Seiji Osawa. Very full sound a most quiet surfaces.
Thanks for sharing
Hello Nadine! Thanks for the review. Are you interested in any of the other titles from the DG Original Source Series?
👍👍👍 but Karatschan? 😂 Really?
Indeed, it’s just Karaj[h]an, as in German. And it retains the same pronunciation in any language. Thank you for the review, though!
Very nice review. Imo Decca and RCA had superior engineering at least from "58 through mid-70's. Deutsche mono recordings '51 - "60 are superb!
Thank you for your kind words! I completely agree, Decca and RCA definitely had some amazing engineering during that time period. It's always great to see such high-quality recordings.
Just came across your channel today and really enjoyed your video. I haven't bought vinyl since about 1985, but I do own 6,700+ CDs and about 400 or so are von Karajan. So I was pleased to hear you speak so well of him as he is my favorite as well.
I visit Germany every few years (just returned from 5 weeks there) and in 2017, I was in Berlin. Our host, who was born and raised in Berlin was driving us around showing us where she grew up. As we went through one intersection, I looked to my right and there was a traffic sign for Dahlem, home of Jesus Christus Kirche, where, as you probably know, von Karajan did most of his recording with the Berliner Philharmonic. To this day, I kick myself for not asking my host to take us to the church. I know it's rarely open, but I would have liked to have stood outside it.
Anyway, thanks again for a wonderful video.
@jjquinn2004 thanks for watching and sharing your experience.
Delighted to see this new video after retuning home from work. My Classical Journey is one of discovery and guidance from friends in the VC, and because of your wonderful review this will be a nice addition to my Classical Collection. Great Information !
@Daniel-hk3ru Thanks for watching, let me know what you will get :-)
Deutsche Grammophon has always been easy to find down here in Australia....I can never resist the yellow banner!!
@VagueRANT100 Thanks for watching! Yes, these records are great in not expensive to get.
Thanks for your review on the new Deutsche Grammophon release. I am new to the Classical music genre, but I’ve been tempted by the recent audiophile release series from Deutsche Grammophon. I think that it is time for me to sample a few of them! I always find your videos interesting and informative. Thanks Nadine.
@davidlawrence79 Thanks for watching, hope you are happy with what you will get.
I'm a brand new subscriber, watching from the UK. Great vinyl album review video, I'm new to the Classical genre, although I listen to many other genres of music. ❤
Thanks for watching and your kind words.
Good video Nadine. I just realized you have merch!
Thanks, yes I opened that up. Also, working on a new logo but that might take a while.
I have Mahler 5th Karajan in the Original Source series ; it's really great
Thanks for pointing this out. 👍
Hi Nadine. Going through my humble collection, I've a few classical LPs. Some are from a subsidiary of DG. They are 40plus years old. The quality is superb. Thank you for your passion and knowledge.
@papabear1417 Thank you so much for your kind words and watching!
Hey Nadine, nice video, my favorite out of your finds was the Dennis Coffee album. You found a nice minty original, that is awesome. I found a used copy a few months ago at my local shop here in NYC. My cover is a little used but the vinyl plays really good. That album is a great funky dance album, all his early albums are a must have. I got my Gil Scott-Heron - Pieces Of A Man album, it’s pretty good but I would not call this mastering a triple A recording. I do think this is probably the best you will get for this album. The sound stage is very straight forward, not much separation between the speakers. For a 45 speed, I was expecting a little more. It’s pressed by GZ, very quite pressing. BGP records. UK pressing.
@franksmusic2880 Thanks for watching, will check that out
I am more or DGG CD person but think I will seek out some of these having heard the mainly good reviews. However, for those just getting into classical and DGG specifically I highly recommend searching out Joost van der Net's history of mastering and cutting at DGG. It is extremely informative; especially on why DGG pressings often lack the character and dynamic range of other labels. Hence why so few DGG LPs make the audiophile lists. His comments about the quality of the cuts of the grooved URHEBER pressings from the perod from 1969-72 seems to be borne out by my experience. The string sound is richer and fuller. Plus the vinyl quality is better. They are also cheaper compared to the somewhat dry sounding (in my opinion) but more collectible Tulip/Alle Herstellers.
Thanks for watching and sharing
It might reduce the value but I can't play the cover or so this reallly made my day 😂 Absolutely true .
@Konspiration100 Thanks for watching! It is what is, I buy records to play them
Hi Nadine, I have all 7 released original source titles. They're all highly recommended.
Thanks for letting me know. I was totally stunned by the quality.
Due to a copyright issue, I removed a certain part. You can find this part here: ua-cam.com/video/lJXCI1aEoUU/v-deo.html
Thanks for the video Nadine. Just to let you know to most classical lovers the biggest, hottest “The Original Source” release, out of 7 by now, is the 2 Brahms piano concertos by Gilels/Jochum/Berliner. World authority level of interpretation and performance of two of the greatest piano concertos ever written. Like the Verdi Requiem you reviewed, only 2000 copies made. Please don’t miss it.
Thanks I just ordered it. Once it’s here I will review it. 👍👍 you are the best
@@Souldisco That’s great! I’m sure you’d love it. Just watch out playing side 3 towards the end. You’ll know what I mean when you get it! Looking forward to your review. Keep up the good work!
Thanks will do.
End of side 3-playing is great, sound is TERRIBLE. Unfortunately I can’t get replacement because sold out. And I have received two copies now of the Verdi and they have all the same serious flaws. For me this series is severely compromised in pressing quality. The good parts are great, but two out of 7 titles have serious issues
Ach krass..;-) gestern noch ein Video dazu abgedreht…Aber schön zum Thema Klassik von Dir etwas zu sehen. Deine Meinung Interessiert mich sehr. Dank und lieben Gruß.
Ich war total überrascht die Qualität hat mich umgehauen. Gerade Karajan war auf die Reinheit seiner Aufnahmen bedacht. Daher waren die damals schon sehr sehr gut. Das sie das so toppen können, Respekt.
Noch ein Punkt, der Hype für Vinyl macht das Musikhörenn einfach teuer, viele können sich halt die teilweise 3-4 Mal so teuren LPs und die tolle Lp Waschanlage nicht leisten. Als ich anfing Vinyl zu kaufen war ich damals froh mir eine Schallplatte pro Monat kaufen zu können, für mehr reichte das Taschengeld nicht und es hat einige Zeit gedauert bis mein eMusikbibliothek auch nur im Entferntesten mit meinen Hörgewohnheiten schritthalten konnte. Das mag heute besser seinb, aber als Bürgergeldemppföänger Student oder Niedriglohnjobber ist Vinyl im Grunde genommen keine Alternative zur günstigeren Cds oder Streaming.
@Konspiration100 Vielen Dank für deine Posts, habe sie sehr gerne gelesen.
Tolles Video, vielen Dank. Kurze Frage ich habe in der Sammlung meines Vaters die gleiche Aufnahme von 1972 von Karajan gefunden, allerdings mit einem neuen Release als „Deutsche Grammophon Präsent“. Hast Du eine Idee wann die Serie rauskam und was die Intention von der Deutschen Grammophon war? Wurden dafür die Originalbänder noch einmal neu auf eine Masterfolie geschnitten?
Hallo Reiner, vielen Dank für dein tolles Feedback, kann es sein das du folgende LP hast: Kelly's And Deutsche Grammophon Present Herbert Von Karajan And The Berlin Philharmonic . Dabei handelt es sich um keine Serie von DG, sondern um eine Promo Aktion für Kelly's Stereo Mart (ein kanadisches Platten- und Stereo-Geschäft im Franchise-Betrieb, aktiv von 1972 bis 1995). Ohne den deathwax zu kennen, kann ich mir gut vorstellen, dass die gleichen stamper wie 1972 verwendet wurden.
@@Souldisco Versuche Dir mal ein Foto von der Hülle und dem Gravierung zu schicken. Das die Hülle in Erlangen gedruckt wurde, denke ich nicht, dass es aus Kanada kommt.
solltest du dich (widererwartend) von der thrice mice trennen wollen, reden wir drüber 😊
Du kannst mich gerne anschreiben, hatte Gelegenheit mehrmals reinzuhören. Wenn das deine Musik ist, macht dir die Platte bestimmt mehr Freude.
@@Souldisco ok, ich schicke dir eine nachricht auf insta.
A German krautrock band giving itself a name with th in the early seventies maybe they were making fun out of their fellow citizens cause if Germans have a problem in english than with th, its getting way better nowadays but ow often I have heard the strangest variotions of th like de man on de boat, no this mis not pijin english its the th version of some Germans 😂
KARADSCHAN ???🤡🤣
Erfrischend neutral. Meiner Beobachtung und Interpretation hat die Säkularisierung im Westen dazu geführt das viele Menschen scheinbar eine Ersatzreligion suchen und haben sie z.B. im Thema Hifi gefunden. Wie oft höre ich mittlerweile Glaubenskreuzritter für den einzig akzeptablen analogen Klang. Jedem kann doch gefallen was ihm gefällt, aber es ist nun mal so das Digital im Zweifelsfall Analog überlegen ist rein von den technischen Daten, das ist Fakt und nicht Glaube. Es gibt natürlich tolle Analogaufnahmen und miese digitale aber dem Digitalen grundsätzlich die gleiche Qualität abzusprechen ist einfach falsch. Wenn ich eine High Res Aufnahme von z.B. ECM höre bedaure ich vielleicht dass es nicht mehr der wunderbare Bebop der 60er als Musik it seinen damaligen Grössen derMusik ist, aber eine gute ECM Aufnahme stellt meiner Meinung nach so ziemlich jede Rudi van Gerldern Analogaufnahme in den Schatten.
Sorry, aber der Vergleich hinkt , wenn man den Zeitunterschied bedenkt ! Liebe Musikgrüße GEORG (Aber es gibt auch Ausnahmen: Z.B. Carnegie Hall , Harry Belafonte 1959, oder The Weavers 1963 !!!)
