    As a general rule, I have often found that analogue recordings (from the 1960's and 70's) transfer better to the CD medium than some later digital masters.

    Indeed, I have a CD of Puccini's La Boheme from a 1970's analogue master that is quite startling in its realism, whilst many choral recordings from that era are very atmospheric.

    Much of the older analogue recording equipment was superb, but recording engineers of the day didn't have the ability to stick microphones everywhere, and dynamic range was comparatively limited, so they had to know what they were doing. I often feel that current day recording engineers rely far too heavily on their equipment, and their ability to edit sub-standard recordings, resulting in sub-standard CD's.

    Just my two-pennarth.
