Very similar in sound & performance to your earlier Münchinger/Decca uploads - very nice! Those reviewers are hard to please..
ReplyDeleteBerkeley (v.nice) & Hindemith are 'Never on CD': another 2 (LXT5177 / LXT2668) are of less interest: not much Munchinger/SCO in the catalogue; so didn't do these 'to rake-in the money'!
DeleteVery good job. Enjoying this one quite a bit.
DeleteThanks!
Given the time these took, I'd have been Mortified to later find a CD-issue - as planned this years back - but really need a decent RCM - as this type of vinyl leaves traces of the wet-cleaning - possibly causes much of my time in removing small 'thingies'..was tempted to use minimal Izotope to remove 'everything' - but it messed the 'bright attack' of the string-tone.
DeleteThanks for these!
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine anyone-else would've manually de-clicked these! (hours....hate pre-1959 Decca vinyl)
DeleteYou 'get-used' to the tempi: 'Holberg' initially seemed very studied in places..
