LP Remastering – Page 3

Bach and Gould are made for each other. The language of heavenly beauty of the first and the stunning polyphony of the second are indescribable. The quality of the recording is not bad, the most clearly recorded tracks are selected.

1-allegro

2-andante

3-allegro

The magnificent version of the concert is conducted by the author, soloed by Leonid Kogan. The orchestra, as on all records TU-1kl 33, recorded dynamically, but roughly, the violin sounds perfect – clear and expressive.

Vladimir Sofronitsky, 1960th mono vinyl rip

Accord, Classical, LP Remastering, Piano, Sofronitsky Vladimir

Anton Stepichev28/03/202015/03/2021

Among more than a dozen long-playing records of Sofronitsky turned out to be only a few good-sounding tracks, it is a pity that a pianist of this high level was recorded with such disregard.

Bossa Nova, Capitol, Gilberto Joao, Jobim Tom, LP Remastering, Odeon

Anton Stepichev27/03/202015/03/2021

Tracks from two LPs of Bossa Nova – a reissue of Capitol with somewhat blurred HF and Odeon that sounds clearer, but with strong overload. On Odeon only one normal track without distortion has been found – Bolinha De Papel.

O Pato

Meditation

Um Abraco No Bonfa

Live recording at Carnegie Hall. Gilberto’s voice is plastic and clear, double bass sounds deaf, the drummer – slurred, but the quality of vocals still makes the record a good example of 1960s live recordings.

So Danco Samba

The Girl from Ipanema

Doralice

Vivo Sonhando

Corcovado

The cult hi-fi Bossa Nova album, sound is not as beautiful as the previous one – it is colder and sharper, with distorted sibilants. In annotation he is praised as the best-sounding album, the master tape is recorded at a speed of 30 inches per second instead of the usual fifteen. The author of the annotation admires the sound of the piano, I confess, I can not understand why.

Beethoven – Piano concerto #3, Schnabel – Dobrowen, 1947 mono vinyl Rip

Beethoven Ludwig, Classical, Dobroven Issay, LP Remastering, Melodia, Schnabel Artur

Anton Stepichev30/12/201917/03/2021

I. Allegro con brio

II. Largo

III. Rondo. Allegro

A superb performance of the concert in a good re-release on the Melodia of the 1960s. There is a master tape copy on YouTube, but despite the best clarity and dynamics, it is too harsh, so the melodic old LP version is quite entitled to exist.
