@mammothguy54, Yes, I agree. I should have said instead that I’m learning that many but certainly not all records of that era were made with inferior vinyl that hasn’t held up well even if it ever sounded any good. And you’re right, I’m learning too that some times it’s a pressing by pressing question. These are things known to many more experienced record nuts around here that I’m just catching on to. Another reason why I appreciate the wisdom here. Looking forward to hearing what you think about your copy of “Everyman”. Maybe I just need to seek out a better copy. |
+1 on “For Everyman”. What a great album. Unfortunately the SQ on my otherwise Mint copy isn’t very good. It sounds thin or flat or something. Doesn’t have that rich detail that I can get from other records. I’ve wondered if it’s just my copy but I kinda doubt it - I’m learning that Vinyl from that period could be pretty low quality at times. @mammothguy, how does yours sound? ————————————— Gerald Finzi Interlude, For Oboe And String Quartet · Prelude And Fugue / Michael Berkeley String Trio · String Quartett · Three Moods Keith Marshall, Oboe Amphion String Quartet hyperion 1984 |
Say, my esteemed gentleman, can anyone tell me how to search within a particular thread. I’m trying to relocate a post in our thread here from, I think, about a year ago. An erstwhile contributor posted a video (Most likely YouTube) of some spectacular relatively heavy fusion / jazz rock. Can’t remember the name of the band but want to get back to it. Apologize for the senile tangent here. |
@bkeske, Thanks Brian. That is the kind of knowledge I want to gain and sift through before buying records. I guess maybe you guys are rubbing off on me and I’m getting more picky. Definitely more focused these days on getting the best sounding version of good music rather than the most expedient alternative. And, Speaking of CBS Records Masterworks... ——————————— Vivaldi Loren Maazel Orchestre National de France The Four Seasons CBS Masterworks Digital 1984 |
@bkeske, I’ll check it out. Thanks. Heck, I can afford both of them 😁 Well, the recording with Berenboin Conducting is very sweet and rather subdued. It was made live with an audience that all seemed to have coughs and colds... The EMI is something to write home about though. Incredible dynamics and tone in a great performance. The EMI recording was also pressed by this little boutique label, The Electric Recording Company, and recently sold out so asking has gone to over a grand. We should have got copies at issue when they were only $500..... |
@noromance Thread here that I hope you will contribute to. I would really like the benefit of your experience on the topic. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/what-are-your-favorite-and-most-hated-record-manufacturers |
Sir Edward Elgar Cello Concerto / Sea Pictures The London Symphony Orchestra Jacqueline du Pre Sir John Barbirolli Janet Baker Repress EMI His Masters Voice ASD 655 1965/Unknown @Bkeske Elgar Brian, This recording of the Elgar Cello Concerto is far better than the other one. I know there is an expensive version of this in print too but this one is spectacular. |
Dvorák: Cellokonzert H-Moll (In B Minor) Tschaikowsky: Rokoko-Variations OP. 33 Rostropovitsch, Berliner Philharmoniker, von Karajan The Dvorak one of my favorites, have at least three other aok versions but saw this posted and have since wanted to get it. Sonics are good but it’s a shame - this Deutsche Grammophon, 139044, has as much surface noise as I’ve ever heard. Like my grandparent’s 78s. Strange because this came from an oft relied on seller in England in an order of 5 other records that are all perfectly as new. I’ve heard there was a time that DG put out disappointing product. This is a 1970 German reissue of a 1968 record. Must try to remember to be cautions around this label. If anyone can educate me about this please do. I am hopelessly naive about record label reliability. |
