If you have the vinyl, that's all you need!! It indeed is one of the most dynamic records you'll ever find (it makes my CDs of the piece seem constricted dynamically, that's how good a recording it is), and one of the best piano recordings as well. I have never seen this particular recording on CD. If you must have a CD, can you get a friend who can burn it onto CD from a good turntable/arm/cartridge/phono stage?
Available in CD? RCA Direct Master "Appassionata
I bought this many years ago and am trying to find it on CD. It is a RCA Direct Master Series 45 R.P.M. Beethoven "Appassionata" with Ikuyo Kamiya, pianist played on a Bosendorfer, Imperial. marked RDC 4. I still have the record and I remember it sounding specatacular. Does anyone have any idea if it is available on CD or about its recording quality?
