It's a new remaster (from a year or two ago) that they did in connection with the release of everything Marcel Dupre recorded for Mercury. They used the "plangent process" (very expensive according to one of JM's posts) and, I swear, this recording, even though it's old, has never sounded so good.
Follow Ups:
Chris you are absolutely right about this new remastering. It is absolutely stunning. The original Mercury is good but this will blow you away. You can tell that this is the new remaster because the original had a second work on it but the remaster only has the Saint Seans 3rd. It is really a great performance. The other that I like is the Fremauex

This then is not the recording that was issued in the Mercury Box? Is available only as a download?
Are you talking about the recent Mercury box set of Paul Paray organ recordings? That has the new remastering. The older box sets of many mercury recordings had the older mastering while still very good can't compete with the new mastering
Alan
Cannot find 'the recent set of Paray Organ recordings'. Only the single CD pricey, at that. If there is a box available can you forward me the source...Thanks!
Here you go. It is the marcel dupre box set

Thanks....Will look for the box of Paray Organ recordings. Should be a thrill.
It is as above the Mercury Marcel DuPre box set

Stunning recording. The Plangent process is just brilliant. By reclocking the session from the bias waveform, just about all timing errors from any of the tape playbacks/recordings in the chain are corrected. Pinch roller irregularities, specks of dust, tape shred, motor cogging, tension arm movements, etc., all show up in the bias, and correcting for them makes a pretty dramatic result.
This is also one of my favorite perfs. It's like an old friend.

I remember you guys talking about that process.
I'll likely give the Stern a few more spins and check out the Paray in the future.
OT, but what ever happened to the Mercury Dorati Sythian Suite and Oranges? Would love to download that one, which I think was Mercury's and Dorati's very best effort.
