Sometimes a new remastering in hi rez from an older digital master, even RBCD, is both necessary and can yield excellent results. For example, the Solti Ring BD-A at 48k had to be done that way because the analog masters were unplayable. And, I found the results superb. IMHO, that set of recordings never sounded better. I see no reason whatsoever to get out the LPs.

It is likely the 1963 Karajan analog masters are in the same fix, as all analog masters everywhere are slowly deteriorating. Eventually, there will be none. Analog tape is just not the archival medium we would like it to be. Digital is of course "perfect sound forever." Well, it might not be perfect, but digital can be made to last forever with care.

So, hopefully they have done a good job with the Karajan set, whatever the source.
