    Default Some wonderful new 78 transcriptions/restorations - quite magical (and a freebie)

    Maybe should have posted this here! Anyway here goes again


    Just listening to a 1930s recording of Beethoven's Kreutzer violin sonata by Thibaud and Cortot, part of a fantastic series of transcriptions and restorations by Andrew Rose.

    https://www.pristineclassical.com/pacm001.html

    Almost unbelievable for a 1929 recording.

    Latterly I've been getting some fantastic results out of playing 78s - so much life to be had with the right cartridge and equalisation - but of course hiss and crackle is an issue. Andrew Rose's methods seem to be able to preseve the live while at the same time eliminating noise, something not generally done with universal success in the past by any means.

    Anyway - just thought I should share. The Hubsch Schubert recordings are pretty magical too (I have some of these individual songs on 78).

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Many thanks for this link!

    I've just bagged some 24 bit FLAC Furtwangler/Beethoven, and a set of Purcell tunes for 2 euros, after I got my discount. Great offer from the Spectator.
