Thank you very much for the Irma Kolassi uploads.
ReplyDeleteYour meticulous LP transfers and the restoration job are highly appreciated. I have the Testament CD with Kolassi but not the Chausson. She also recorded some baroque music with Nadia Boulanger and Duparc's songs.
Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!!!
Many thanks Sturla!
ReplyDeleteSame Greetings to you - and thank you for your previous comments!
I did mention (before an edit..) that I'd be interested in a FLAC-rip of the Testament CD (which duplicates just the first Ravel/2 Greek songs).
There was also a Spanish Songs 10" disc (also reviewed in Gramophone 1/1955 - as with the Greek) which I've not seen/heard - though, if that was as bad a pressing I doubt it would give much listening pleasure - but I'm assuming they would be just as attractive.
Dear Tin Ear, Happy New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteI'll upload the Kolassi files in a week: I am currently struggling with my internet provider.
Once again, thank you for your wonderful music blog.
Hello Sturla.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your interest and support this past year...and Happy New Year to you.
I'll see what 'interesting' 'not-on-CD' vocals I can dig-out.
The Kolassi has been pretty popular: almost 1000 downloads to date (I know... the 'comments' don't really reflect that!!).
Hello Tin Ear. Here are the mediafire links to the Kolassi CD. The files are in the 256 Kbit Mp3 format, the FLACs will follow soon.

Hello Sturla. That's very kind of you - and much appreciated! . I may have a few problems transferring LX 3054 -Ilse Hollweg in Mozart/R.Strauss - due to a mild 'ripple warp' There's also a Mozart arias Decca LXT (2685) - which not all have either been on CD - but these are near 60yo discs...
ReplyDeleteThis is a real and precious gift!!

ReplyDeleteGio

Deleteif you're referring to the Sturla mediafire links above - I probably still retain those files..
