Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Clemens Krauss
Decca ACL 16 (LXT 2549) 1959 pressing/c.1958 matrices: ARL 409 -7DR / ARL 410 -7DR Recorded: 16 June 1950 - Musikvereinsaal, Vienna.
The original LXT transfer is very nice ('creamy') - but this has more clarity, albeit slightly overbright (a c.1955 transfer is in-between) and without some noticeable 'hum'. 2011 RMCR Chit-chat re Rose's version LXT 2549 sleeve-note >>>
Thx for that post.......The cover is amazing as well !!!!
ReplyDeleteYou know you can always take the thanks as read, but I'll add them anyway.

As it happens, I think not. I'm sure I've never heard these in any format. I do have Aus Italien in storage, but don't let me stop you...

Herr Strauss' Maus Italien (only have the ACL of that).
DeleteThe later Krauss/R.Strauss have somewhat Gloopy LP sound, so am not really tempted - though the ACL of Furtwangler's Franck Symphony is very good sound-wise (maybe he told the Decca Engineers where they could go and stick their microphones...)
This may be the Golden Age of Triangle-recording though...
