Brace yourself for the most glorious musical thunderstorm ever captured on magnetic tape—Verdi’s Requiem performed by the New Philharmonia Chorus and Orchestra under the masterful baton of Sir John Barbirolli. Recorded in the rich analog warmth of the late 1960s, this reel-to-reel brings Verdi’s epic choral drama to life with spine-tingling immediacy. Part opera, part sacred masterpiece, the Requiem is an emotional rollercoaster—one moment a whisper to the heavens, the next a cosmic cannon blast of sound that will rattle your living room furniture (and possibly your neighbor’s patience). Barbirolli drives the forces with both reverence and fire, making this performance not just music, but an electrifying spiritual event. For vintage hi-fi lovers and classical purists alike, this is the kind of recording that makes you remember why reel-to-reel was—and still is—the ultimate way to experience music.

Packaging
Packaging and shipping heavy and fragile audio equipment requires careful attention to ensure the safe transportation of delicate components. Firstly, selecting appropriate packaging materials is crucial. Sturdy cardboard boxes with double or triple walls offer better protection, and packing peanuts ensure extra cushion for the equipment and prevent any movement. Most items are double boxed to provide the utmost protection to your new piece of hi-fi equipment. For added protection, using shock-absorbing materials like air pillows can help absorb impact and all items are wrapped in bubble wrap before boxing. Finally, securely sealing the package with strong tape and labeling it as fragile is important for proper handling. When shipping heavy audio equipment, using reliable freight services that specialize in fragile items and provide tracking options is recommended to ensure a smooth and secure delivery process.

Refunds
We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not.
