The best of Le sacre is the one under Ozawa with Chicago symphony (RCA)!! As to Tchaikovsky symphonies, Markevitch is a real must-have!
This is a great review. Many of us never delved into this period of DG, and your honest commentary gives me a good guideline on the best performances and sound. Love all the musical details you always point out too.
Thx Scott. We’re lucky to be living in (quality) reissue heaven. And the DG catalogue is vast. 👍
Well done Antony , this is an important review for those of us who held back this first round of releases and really appreciate your honest opinion: Of what’s great and what is meh , thus will save viewers a lot of money and Ian gets the leftovers lol
I have an og death and transfiguration which I think sounds great, one of my favorites. I'm really looking forward to hear the remastered version of that recording. I also enjoy the Beethoven 7. I have a ton of large Tulip and 70s DG which I really enjoy so not sure how many I'll purchase but I think it's wonderful they're doing this, I think I'll purchase The Trout and a few others so thank you for the review.
Great review of the series to date.
Thank you for the kind words.
Great to hear from you on this Anthony…I’m up in Sitka ..will try and join We’d pm….great info as always!,😊
Missed you. Hope ur having fun. C u Wed.
Would like to see the Sibelius 4 by Karajan, Tilson-Thomas' Tchaikovsky 1 with the BSO, Pollini's Chopin recordings, Gilels' Grieg Lyric pieces.
All would be great additions 👍👍
I have always been an admirer of Irmgard Seefried and her performance of Respighi’s Il Tramonto is beguiling as it is wonderful. She recorded this with the Festival Strings Lucerne and her husband Wolfgang Schneiderhan. This was released in 1960 and I have the Deutsche Grammophon red stereo LP release. The recording also has music by Bach and Mozart and if the tapes are available it would make a wonderful reissue.
Yes please 👍👍
Agree with you about Ma Vlast. Mostly not very memorable. I enjoy your talks.
Great video
Thank you so much
Great job
Thanks so much, Joey. C u Wed 👍👍
@@AudiophiliaChannel I am checking out a few of the albums you mentioned.
Thank you so much
I am really enjoying classical music. I love it. Thank you for all of your hard work and all you do. Have a wonderful evening. See you Wednesday 😀
Here are some odd things: the spindle-hole on my Abbado Boston LP was larger than normal. If you were not careful, you'd get wow because your record was spinning off-center. My LP of Kubelik's Bartok Cto for Orchestra had a clearly visible smudge (like a grease mark) on one side, and it also had a scratch. It made me wonder if the LP had been a return. The way the sleeve is resealable, you can't tell of a record has been previously opened or handled. I will also say that I find the matte jackets and the quality of the jackets themselves underwhelming. I thought we'd see a Tone Poet-type treatment with thick, quality stock- and making a jacket glossy heightens the contrast and color. Instead the artwork is muted and sleeve stock is just as vulnerable to LP punch-through at the edges. I returned one Original Source LP for that issue alone.
Beautiful recordings!
Steinberg was just a great all around musican 👍
The Hindemith record is a miracle.
Very enjoyable review which I largely agree with. A couple of points I just want to chime in on. First, to be absolutely clear, what makes these remasterings so unique is there is no stereo mix down to tape, from which the cut is then made: rather, the mix is done in real time directly to the lathe, thus cutting out one generation of sound degradation. I thought maybe that wasn't entirely clear in your description. This is the closest thing to a direct-to-disc cut, a process which Rainer Maillard revived and is heavily committed to. The same is going to be true for the upcoming Karajan Bruckner, even though this was recorded to 8 tracks (analogue and digital, with 2 dedicated to ambient hall sound). Maillard designed and built a mixer so they are cutting directly from the 8-track tape. The other reasons these reissues sound so much more vivid are because 1/ inclusion of ambient hall information recorded for quad releases that never happened, and 2/ Sidney cutting with much more dynamic information etc. in the groove, unlike the original vinyl issues which were deliberately curtailed of same sonic information to head off possible pressing problems in foreign territories. Second, as to some of the recordings on your wishlist of future ORR remasterings, DG and EBS are for the moment restricting themselves to 70s era, and only recordings made with 2 tracks of ambient information. So, alas, no redo of Karajan's Prokofiev 5 and Shostakovich 10 (two of his very best recordings), or Nielsen's 4th which is digital (and which I love), or Pollini's Prokofiev/Stravinsky - as you rightly say simply one of the greatest piano records ever. However, Pollini IS going to feature in the next batch of OSS releases - hurrah!!! Third, and final, the whole Karajan knob-twiddling thing. Like you, I've heard this bandied around for years as a reason for why his recordings can sound sub-par. I specifically asked Maillard about this and he said he himself had asked other engineers about this. Apparently it is more myth than reality. Karajan was actually very hands-off technologically, liked to record in long takes. (All the 4 Last Songs are single takes except for one, which has one edit because the leader Michael Schwalbe wanted a redo of his solo; Karajan's later Rite of Spring was one take for each half). After selecting the takes to use, he was barely involved in the editing, and would often be quite happy with letting a corker of a wrong note stay in the recording if he felt the overall performance was great - and we've all heard those in his recordings. So knob fiddling is kinda not true, it would seem..... For me the great OSS reissues in a class of their own are the Ozawa Berlioz, The Abbado Rite, The Kleiber Beethoven, the Gilels Beethoven Piano sonatas and, absolutely, the Karajan/Janowitz Strauss (has any soprano ever sounded so natural and gorgeous on record) and that Hindemith record which is beyond sublime. I am so glad you highlighted it.
Thanks for the detailed info. I still believe Karajan, who I adore, loved tech and couldn’t keep his nose out (or fingers off). His videos are even worse. In any case, many of them are not good. I guess there’s enough blame to go around. As for hall ambiance, some of the specific tracks have been more successfully implemented than others. But no worries, as even the ones I suggest are not as strong as the others, still have much to recommend them.
To bad about the ‘60s. As for Prokofiev 5 and Nielsen 4, I hope I make it clear in the video, great performances, awful recordings.
Thx again.
@@AudiophiliaChannel I've definitely read from different sources that HVK liked to get involved at the mixing desk. I find it easy to believe he would have a big say in how the record sounded. But who knows for sure?
This is going to be expensive. Would love to see a Ozawa/ Ravel box- all 4 records. Pollini/Abbado Bartok would be nice. Will be interesting to see what they can do with Pollini/Petrouchka. Always sounded like something from the 1940s. The Nielsen 4? Be nice to be able to hear the tympanies in 4.
'Like something from the 1940s'. Lol!
like to see karajan mahler 6, karajan tchaikovsky cycle and rostropovich tchaikovsky ballet suite. the ozawa boston pieces will also be wrlcome.
His Mahler 6 is superb. Best Alma theme on record.
Very good survey! In general great recordings , but I was disappointed by Kleiber's Beethoven 7! The pressing and the sound were rather mediocre....
😳
👍👍
Given the amazing job those two are doing on the production of these records, who the hell's picking the sig number of crap recordings, its not cheap to be buying these outta FOMO! bit of a surprising review in parts
Can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear
