For Fans of Bruno Walter's "Indian Summer"

I'm very familiar now with Columbia pressings of Walter's late (last) period of recordings--whether on 6 eye, 2 eye, Odyssey or Columbia Masterworks Portrait but stumbled upon a Japanese Toshiba pressing of his Mahler "Das Lied" in a series of releases called "New Remix Masters" under the aegis of Sony/CBS. Very impressed. I don't know what they did, I don't know if they're digitally- remastered or not, but they beat the pants off the originals in every way. Much blacker backrounds, more air around instruments, a sense of hall space, better dynamics, better burnished brass...amazing. I've since picked up the Walter Mahler 1st and Brahms' 3rd. The "boogie factor" is retained, unlike the King Analog reissues, heck like most re-issues.
