Another day, another label...

Having always been impressed with CBS vinyl with respect to rock and pop - those with the orange labels of this design - I've been intending to try out a Blue label CBS classical recording, to see how they hold up in comparison to some other "premium" classical labels...

...And so, when I saw this violin recital, I grabbed it, as being a great test case.

And I wasn't disappointed... the vinyl, and CBS pressing methods are all I wanted it to be:

Smooth, creamy vinyl, that is absolutely "Decca" silent in the run-in (and out) and quiet parts, as detailed as an HMV, and can deliver the power (almost) equal to a Columbia.

And this recital of some brilliant violin set-pieces tests all of these factors well, as the opening Saint-Saens piece is a real show off work... designed to be highly intricate, and with all the dynamic fireworks of someone really having to get around their instrument adeptly.

Anything on this record played at the proms, for instance, would be well received, and considered a highlight.

The other works are more sublime, and more meditative, but do have swells of powerful, sweeping emphasis, and dramatic punctuation.

The only problem, in this case, is that the orchestra is perhpaps not given the attention that the lead violin has in general, in terms of being mic-ed up adequately - they get a little distant while the solos are going on, but brought to the fore only when they need to.

But this is all about the violin, and it more than lives up to billing in that regard.

...these CBS blues are cheap as chips usually, and well worth the money if this is anything to go by.
