Made in England L1775 in pristine condition and Scubert "Forellen" by Albert Coates L 2098 in Mint condition and I'm willing to sell it.

Individual phrases stand out - just his - or Beethoven's with his take on them - but right! To me he starts of cold, but whips it like a Vitamixer (c) by the end. How's that for unmusical musical criticism?! Thanks so much! Your transfers are great!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631827761986497493.post-11183297528092915202012-03-29T09:51:36.961-04:002012-03-29T09:51:36.961-04:00Great transfer, it's really enjoyable to liste...Great transfer, it's really enjoyable to listen to. I wish I could say the same for the 2 male soloists & the English text; I quite like them in other recordings they made where they just don't sound so out of place, but here, and with that text ... Aaargh! I must go back & listen to the 2 Coates recordings; I don't recall having that reaction to one of his sets of soloists, but I can't recall which! <br /><br />Nevertheless it is a great pleasure to hear the 1st electrical recording, and to put it alongside the Coates acoustic & electrical - and other early 9ths in German which you & others have made available. Words are inadequate to say a proper thank you!Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631827761986497493.post-55923139825168127782011-12-25T22:29:58.076-05:002011-12-25T22:29:58.076-05:00Bryan -

They managed to obtain a satisfactory result with reduced dynamics. This is a more lively performance than the later one.<br /><br />The first London Ninth in German was with Furtwängler and the <i>Berliner Philharmoniker</i> for the Coronation season in 1937. The Philharmonic Choir (conductor Charles Kennedy Scott) learned the German version especially for the occasion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631827761986497493.post-72907658570843726622011-12-15T13:02:47.223-05:002011-12-15T13:02:47.223-05:00Great!

I'll gladly accept your occasional remnants of disc wear for the greater detail and texture compared to the only other transfer I have (on Lys 190) which is cleaner, yet dull and muffled by comparison.Peter Gutmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06782272764374474712noreply@blogger.com
