Comments and Reviews
| Magic Marmalade 28th Jan 2016 | Arturo Toscanini 1867-1957. So died just about the same time as stereo began to happen | |
| Magic Marmalade 25th Jan 2016 | Mind you, I've just looked at the plate numbers after the matrices for my copy, which may have something to do with it: Side A: 239 Side B: 79 ! (ha ha ha) | |
| Magic Marmalade 25th Jan 2016 | ReviewJust listened to this. "Ooooh, I know that one!" ...Was my first thought. Symphony No.5 is the 'DA. Da. DA. DAAaaa'.. one (know the one?) Of course you know it, it's Beethoven as droogs might know it. So I won't spend too much time out of depth describing the music itself, but rather talk about the vinyl and recording... It's something of a let down I have to say, but that may be because I've been spoiled rotten with recent Stereo classical acquisitions, and this being mono, suffers greatly by comparison. Thsi is because this is probably a 'bigger' bit of music than those others I've recently listened to - a full symphony - but in a smaller sound-stage than those others. It needs more room to gallop, so to speak. In fact, the problem is that it feels like the vinyl has revealed the shortcomings of the original recording (I don't know if there is a Stereo version of this), but the recording itself sounds like a very old recording on quite an unsophisticated set up... it almost sounds like there's just been a couple of mics at the front of the orchestra to pick up the whole band (he he). As such, the strings overwhelm the whole affair, and you can only faintly detect anything further back in the orchestra as it struggles to fight it's way through this dense thicket of drama and power that the vinyl delivers. And even so, the whole thing, as I say, sounds old (don't know when this was recorded), thin for anything but the cellos, narrow, and middle distant. A smaller and tighter unit like a rock band always sounds better in mono to my ears, benefiting from the punch and unity of that kind of recording, but an orchestra needs a wide open space to play in, and also to contain it... here it's altogether too much music for so little room. I can now see where all the extra bucks go for the early stereo vinyls, because this is vinyl of such quality that's crying out to have it's full potential explored with a decent stereo, or even mono recording, and basically, by this point, the vinyl was more capable than the music they put on it at this time. 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review? | |
| PhilMH 2nd Jan 2016 | Probably a 1952 release for this, as in the USA - the E2 at the start of the matrix numbers was the code for 1952, Certainly no later than 1956, as RCA went to Decca for the UK in 1957. | |
| Magic Marmalade 22nd Dec 2015 | I've seen a couple more of these about on my travels, and was a bit perplexed as to why the text on the front cover was a different colour on each... ...On closer examination, it becomes clear that these are different Beethoven works housed in the same sleeve, with only the identifying text in the white box, and the colour of the other text on the front to distinguish them. Identical picture (And blue filter colour) though, so a bit confusing. | |
