It's Amazing... Wonderful... Excellent... THANKS
ReplyDelete...it really is better than the original single LP (used elsewhere) - but someone on SymphonyShare didn't like it - sort of Made-Their-Petunias-Wilt...'too exciting' as sound!!
DeleteThe early '60's Decca single LP version of the mono VPO/Kleiber is also pretty good: though already have an excellent 1940 Mengelberg version on the HISTORICAL blog - which is very interesting to hear: some aspects are very Berlioz-like - which I dont recall previously being aware-of..
Hi! I just discovered your blog. Congratulations. Have Bruckner, Symphony No. 9, Pro Musica Symphony, Vienna, Jascha Horenstein, 1978 version?. Thank you. (Michael)
ReplyDeleteHello,
DeleteYes - I've new/original mid-1950's LP's of Bruckner 8 + 9 on Vox (Decca UK pressings/CBS matrices) - but thought these were available on CD (as is/was the Bartok VC2 with Gitlis -my favourite - and sonically better than the Bruckner's) - so unless they're no longer available - or were not particularly good as CD transfers - then I wouldn't really spend time on them.
Also have the UK Unicorn LP of Bruckner 7 (Polydor 1928) - but the transfer is very inconsistent between movements - some being muddy/lacking in detail; but that's one I'd previously considered uploading.
This 1966 transfer of the Beethoven 9 just happened to be much superior to the one used by 'Mr Pristine' - so decided to 'compete' with his 'stunning transformation'!
Thanks for your answer. (Michael)
