士羅曼德錄製的《彼得洛希卡》。另外還包括蕭提早年錄製的巴托克、高大宜與海頓的作品，以及克納普茲布許的布魯克納與克萊巴的貝多芬作品錄音等。

 

這套產品不僅帶領樂迷探索DECCA最早期的高傳真錄音歷史，並再現了許多早已經被遺忘的珍貴錄音，包括特里雅斯特三重奏（Trio di Trieste）、奇喬諾五重奏（Quintetto Chigiano）、葛利勒四重奏（Griller Quartet）等。自從初版黑膠唱片發行以來，這些錄音已絕版超過六十年。其他同樣受人矚目的音樂家還包括鋼琴家：柯爾榮、卡欽、顧爾達，小提琴家：黎奇、坎波利，與大提琴家：傅尼葉、詹德隆、妮爾索瓦等。

 

專輯以具有金屬質感的紙質包裝，並保留了每一張CD的原始唱片封套設計與錄音資訊，以及珍貴的照片。附錄的多國語言解說冊，包含由Raymond McGill與Mike Gray撰文介紹ffrr的發展歷程、相關的音樂家與錄音場地等等。

 

1940年代，二次世界大戰戰火方酣，歐陸在希特勒的淫威下紛紛屈服，唯英國仍屹立於大西洋上堅守最後防線。此時DECCA工程師應英軍要求，以其頂尖錄音技術開發出ffrr，協助英國海軍於英吉利海峽捕捉深藏海底的希特勒U型潛艇，不但仔細錄下海底的聲音，並據其分辨敵我，使德國海軍無法越雷池一步。1944年DECCA再將這個技術運用在音樂錄音上，大幅度提昇唱片的音質，不但為聲音品質帶來革命性的影響，也促成了日後高傳真立體聲年代的來臨。1950年進而發行了第一個適用於ffrr錄音的唱臂，以及十二吋的長時間播放黑膠唱片。

 

八年後（1958），立體身歷聲時代來臨，DECCA發展出第一個立體聲錄音，稱為ffss（Full Frequency Stereo Sound全頻段立體身歷聲）。如此的技術持續改進，到了1962年更發展出「全方位立體聲」（Phase 4 Stereo）錄音技術，為愛樂者提供更優異的聲音品質。這套錄音專輯見證了在高傳真的錄音技術上，DECCA不但是先驅的開拓者，更是唯一領導者。
