Your transfers (the little bit I've heard) are actually quite good, but it would probably improve them to blend the 2 stereo channels into one, and the Diamond Cut tool will do this easily.Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00501152469280142504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631827761986497493.post-55580149062230889862010-09-09T16:46:01.750-04:002010-09-09T16:46:01.750-04:00Thanks for these posts, Bryan!

I'm only an amateur in transferring 78s, (I only use ClickRepair), I'm curious to know how you get such beautiful results!Satyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882844330262516582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631827761986497493.post-81886356919622017102010-09-09T15:38:36.023-04:002010-09-09T15:38:36.023-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Satyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882844330262516582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631827761986497493.post-36214104682548485662010-09-09T13:39:54.180-04:002010-09-09T13:39:54.180-04:00Thanks for the clarification, Bryan.

And you're dead right, it's that old Dutton CD that I have. <br /><br />I wonder if Dutton might get round to the VW Sonata - he's just brought out a Grinke disc of Rubbra, Berkeley and Reizenstein Decca recordings which is an encouraging sign...makropuloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884187101677032779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631827761986497493.post-40467426065150341912010-09-09T11:53:32.667-04:002010-09-09T11:53:32.667-04:00Makropulos - the Canadian Library has the VW conce...Makropulos - the Canadian Library has the VW concerto (2 different pressings and all), they just haven't gotten around to making MP3 files of it available yet. At least I couldn't find them.<br /><br />This performance turned up on a Boyd Neel Dutton CD in 1994, along with the Tallis Fantasia and 2 works by Britten, but that's now out of print, and it wasn't a very good transfer anyway.<br /><br />I'd like to hear that Sonata recording too! It was on London LL1382 coupled with the Arthur Benjamin sonatina with Grinke accompanied by the composer. One online retailer has it for £16 which is a little rich for my blood right now....Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00501152469280142504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631827761986497493.post-18925157064623143212010-09-09T10:46:03.450-04:002010-09-09T10:46:03.450-04:00Bryan - thank you!

The more Grinke the better: he's a violinist I admire greatly.<br /><br />This performance *is* on the Virtual Gramophone (I seem to remember there are even two different pressings of it), so I've heard it before. Still, it's very nice to hear it again. <br /><br />One disc that isn't there - and I'd very much like to hear - is Grinke's recording of the RVW Violin Sonata in A minor (dedicated to him) with Michael Mullinar, but that was issued in 1956 so it's obviously an LP rather than a 78. I may have missed it, but I don't know of a reissue.makropuloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884187101677032779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631827761986497493.post-15371065065923334942010-09-08T23:01:15.548-04:002010-09-08T23:01:15.548-04:00Thanks Bryan - A favorite of mine as well, and I h...Thanks Bryan - A favorite of mine as well, and I haven't heard this recording.Busterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08918896767504950096noreply@blogger.com
