If you'd like to hear a sample of this work in both its original as well as Compaxx-restored version, please click Compaxx Classical Benchmarks to stream these samples. By embedding this information within subcode and prepacketing for compression it IS possible to provide playback in mp3 format far beyond the capability of CD. This information includes harmonics, subtonics, sympathetic vibrations, and spatial cuing vital to an authentic reproduction of the original live performance experience. In developing the Compaxx restoration/enhancement process I utilize extended forensic techniques to recover vital music data actually embedded in classical recordings, but previously unplayable on stereos due CD format limitations.

In the past I've also presented this to the late Isaac Stern, whose input was invaluable. On the recent occasion of Zubin Mehta's 70th birthday I was honored to present to him a Compaxx Masterworks historical restoration of this wonderful performance, both in CD as well as Compaxx-enhanced mp3.

As a producer and compressed-audio developer I'm intimately familiar with the IPO's "Four Seasons", and have used it for many years as a benchmark in my work.
