| Magic Marmalade 22nd Nov 2017 | ReviewAs good a mono recording as you will find. This is a monster! In the hand, it feels like a 12" shellac 78... very heavy, and perhaps pushing towards the 200g end of the weight spectrum, and the labels obviously speak of shellac era issues, but it is a very stiff piece of 33 1/3 vinyl. And that quality translates to a fine listening experience, as, from what I gather, Pye bought Nixa in 1953, so this must date from the early fifties (being Pre-Pye), and this would easily stand up to any mono recording on any label from a much later date...even up to the late sixties! Crisp, clear, and with a very, very heavy "acoustic weight" which only serves to highlight the recording technique, which sounds like both Bogin's Piano, and Starker's heavy Cello were very closely miked... like when you are playing an instrument yourself, or are very close to one when it's being played, you get all the extra feeling and immediacy. ...This does have one downside though, but only on a very few occasions, where the piano hits a loud or high note, it does begin to distort slightly... but this is just a handful of notes across both sides of vinyl. The vinyl is absolutely silent in the quiet interim, and other than the proximity of the microphone, handles all frequencies with absolute ease. This selection of Brahms Cello Sonatas are much better than the Beethoven ones (for me), as the Cello has the lead, and the recording engineer highlights the better cello compositions by rather brilliantly (and imperceptibly) just bringing the piano in a little more, then out again, as required behind it. Being only two performers, the mono is more than adequate, and if you don't have thousands to spend on a Columbia Starker, then this is most certainly where I'd point you. This is what I want from Cello recordings in spades. Brilliant... and Nixa is label of the week! :) 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review? | |
