Member since Jun 2014 3747 Points Moderator | What with the resounding response you've got to your enquiry, I thought I'd ask if you'd played it yet, as one of the classical vinyls I've got on that label has a foil label that makes a lot of static that interferes with the sound... ...So was just wondering if the same thing happened with your 78? (I presumed you know it is a Deutsche Grammophon "project" label) |

| Jock_Girl A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator | Yes, I did know it was associated with Deutsche Grammophon in some way and appears to be a 'high end' audiophile type of label. I note that part of the lable text says something to the effect of using the "Siemens Silver Process". I did give it a quick spin and it is of very good quality with little surface noise, at least not as quiet as vinyl, but not as noisy as shellac. I am very curious about the other label text. Obviously one is for the producer, but I'm not sure about the other two. Fascinating label. I find that seeing such high quality coming out of Germany within 5 years after the war to be interesting Amy |

 | xiphophilos Member since Dec 2013 3351 Points Moderator | Sorry, I only noticed your post today. I'm also a complete ignoramus regarding Classical music, but I did a bit of research for you: There's a bit of a history of the "Archiv Produktion" label on the Deutsche Grammophon site (in English): http://www.deutschegrammophon.com/de/album/archiv-produktion/history.html It seems the label was founded in 1947 in Lübeck for the purpose of creating recordings of Classical music using historically correct instruments and performance practices. For more, see Simon P. Keefe (ed.), The Cambridge Companion To The Concerto, p. 253-254. Edited by xiphophilos on 16th Sep 2016, 6:13 PM |

| Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3747 Points Moderator | The vinyls are a very nice quality package... designed for musical archiving, they originally came with archive index cards for filing, and the sleeves are a very nice card construction too. (Just wish I could shake the static off the older one I have!) |

 | Pridesale Member since Mar 2013 805 Points | Worth looking at the LP section and the 45cat versions. See Also Archiv Produktion Archive Production for the English first language nations did they have other names for French, Dutch , etc?http://www.45cat.com/record/epa37042 Production is almost more than 'Producer' being Recording Engineer - which for miking up orchestras etc is quite involved. |

| Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3747 Points Moderator | Not unlike the Telefunken 'Masterwerks' series, like the one I entered here on Classical world... where they started a project of getting some famous works done on all the great church and cathedral organs around Europe. (That one I have really thunders around the room and shakes your fillings :) The Archiv(e) Produ(c)ktions do turn up reasonably frequently, and they are worth getting (one of these is a highly sought after Enrico Mainardi cello set... and I do love a bit of cello Grommit :) |
