Magic Marmalade 7th Feb 2017		Review It is always with some regret that I pass over the many SAGA classical albums I find in record bins... ...After all. they always seem to have lovely covers, with nice thick laminated card, flips, and lovely sleeve images wrapped around a really nice, heavy piece of fine looking, nicely pressed vinyl. (I feel I have to though, in order to spare the dough for any of those elusive Columbias I might find, or the - now increasingly scarce - Decca SXLs, or a possible H.M.V. of note) And along with the equally well presented Concert Hall discs, make up the bulk of the classical albums you find in Charity shops... So I thought I'd give a couple a go, to see what they were like, but resolving only to do so if I found a SAGA that was: a) Stereo, and/or: b) A nice bit o' cello, and / or: c) By an outstanding artist, that could justify the 50p each expense of such frivolous spending. I did, and found this, and two other monos of the Cello / outstanding artist variety. And while I'm happy to report that this has some great music, beautifully played on it, I have to say that it's the recording if this that does detract a little, and show why, with the odd exception, they aren't as highly regarded as some of those other labels... ...For having been raised on a diet of Deccas and such now, with regard to how meticulous they set about recording the works, this sounds like it was recorded in a slightly more closely confined room, and through only the two mics at the front of the room for stereo, as opposed to what I must imagine to have been a forest of microphones and chaps in white doctor's overalls and clip-boards, a bubbling test-tubes, blinking lights and NASA scientists down at Decca, or over at Columbia and HMV... These principal instruments are very crisp, and clearly recorded, and I've no issue there, or the stereo handling, it's just that that the rest of the orchestration sounds a little muddy, and a bit "back of the bus" to me... ...now, if you are trying to appreciate the entirety of the piece, this might be a bit of a let down, being a bizarre hybrid of an "old" sounding recording, but coming at you, paradoxically in stereo... but this may well suit others if they want to pick out the individual lead instruments, such as a budding cellist, who wants to study their part of such a piece. So not the greatest, but probably useful, and overall, technical considerations aside, quite pleasing and enjoyable.. it won't jar your ears or anything. ((Couple of other points to note though: Firstly, I don't know if this is representative of all SAGA's stereos, or their recordings in general, and I don't know if the monos will be good - I'll give those a go tomorrow - and also, seeing as this has a mono record in a Stereo stickered mono sleeve, it is entirely possible that many have long since lost their sticker, so if anyone has been passing over them on this basis, in looking for a particular copy of one of these in stereo as opposed to mono, it may be worth taking the time to look at the actual record itself for these stereo labels...don't just assume the are mono from outward appearance.)) 3 people found this review helpful.   ✔︎ Helpful Review?
