DECCA 4787946
这套产品不仅带领乐迷探索DECCA最早期的高传真录音历史，并再现了许多早已经被遗忘的珍贵录音，包括特里雅斯特三重奏（Trio di Trieste）、奇乔诺五重奏（Quintetto Chigiano）、葛利勒四重奏（Griller Quartet）等。自从初版黑胶唱片发行以来，这些录音已绝版超过六十年。其他同样受人瞩目的音乐家还包括钢琴家：卡仲、卡钦、古尔达，小提琴家：黎奇、坎波利，与大提琴家：傅尼叶、詹德隆、妮尔索瓦等。
专辑以具有金属质感的纸质包装，并保留了每一张CD的原始唱片封套设计与录音资讯，以及珍贵的照片。附录的多国语言解说册，包含由Raymond McGill与Mike Gray撰文介绍ffrr的发展歷程、相关的音乐家与录音场地等等。
1940年代，二次世界大战战火方酣，欧陆在希特勒的淫威下纷纷屈服，唯英国仍屹立於大西洋上坚守最后防线。此时DECCA工程师应英军要求，以其顶尖录音技术开发出ffrr，协助英国海军於英吉利海峡捕捉深藏海底的希特勒U型潜艇，不但仔细录下海底的声音，并据其分辨敌我，使德国海军无法越雷池一步。1944年DECCA再将这个技术运用在音乐录音上，大幅度提昇唱片的音质，不但为声音品质带来革命性的影响，也促成了日后高传真立体声年代的来临。1950年进而发行了第一个适用于ffrr录音的唱臂，以及十二吋的长时间播放黑胶唱片。
八年后（1958），立体身历声时代来临，DECCA发展出第一个立体声录音，称为ffss（Full Frequency Stereo Sound全频段立体身历声）。如此的技术持续改进，到了1962年更发展出全方位立体声（Phase 4 Stereo）录音技术，为爱乐者提供更优异的声音品质。这套录音专辑见证了在高传真的录音技术上，DECCA不但是先驱的开拓者，更是唯一领导者。
