Reviews
- Because of the storm of criticism I received in response to my post of 28 July 2023 (see below), I again compared this LP to the 24/96 digital version. In the meantime, I upgraded both my analog and digital front ends.
I now take back what I said earlier. I do not hear any compression or limiting. On the contrary, because the LP was cut live from the four-track master, rather than from a two-track stereo mixdown, the LP saves a tape generation vs. the digital transfer. I now prefer the LP. Sorry about that! - White Label Editions were also released. Exclusively in the German Grammophon Shop - in a limited edition of 10 pieces worldwide.
- Admittedly not being a classical in the know, to me both the performance and recording are outstanding. The new AAA delivery is quite enjoyable to my ears albeit not in any way near the Abbado Stravinsky Printemps, from only a soundwise perspective, of course. … two different „animals“ admittedly. Pressing is quite quiet, unfortunately sends my cartridge on a wavy ride. Lack of proper QC at Optimal, again or still ongoing? … tired of returning so many expensive records these days. Still a solid 4 out of 5 stars thus very recommendable.
- Edited one year agoIt's good to have this AAA pressing. The realism of analog is wonderful. However, as other reviewers have noted, during loud passages the music sounds compressed and, yes, shrill. This is probably an unavoidable consequence of vinyl's dynamic range. Overall, I prefer the 24/96 version. The hi res digital format seems to better preserve the full dynamic range of the recording.
- Edited one year agoAbout the misconception about CCIR: the tape recording and reproduction was done with corrections according CCIR, naturally, most tape recordings are done that way. The cutting was certainly following the RIAA curve. The record sounds wonderful, according the recording techniques of the time. A phono stage with switchable curve corrections may serve a individuals‘ taste, though.
- Edited one year agoFirst: I don't review interpretations I just want to say that this one is concidered the best 7th (I prefer Teodor Currentzis, Ludwig van Beethoven, Musicaeterna - Beethoven Symphony No. 7 In A Major Op.92)
Second: Again (as Franz Schubert – Emil Gilels • Amadeus-Quartett • Rainer Zepperitz - Forellenquintett • Trout Quintet • Quintetto »La Trota«) has been mastered via CCIR (see insert). So when listened via RIAA it sounds without air and punch (lifeless), 2D also strings are very shrill (to quote a previous reviewer). But when listened via CCIR is a 3D, full body attack.
So again avoid it if you don't have a phono with CCIR EQ curve. - Edited one year agoI have to agree with the previous comment. First, the recording is pretty good: lots of detail and air around the instruments. However, my issue is with the performance... It is a too nice interpretation of the 7th. I mean, very light, smooth, with no punch. And that you can hear by the lean tone of the double bass section. Do not get me wrong: the recording and pressing are pretty good. But this interpretation did not captivate me.
Analogue frontend: Bergmann Galder+Odin with Nagra Reference Cartridge. - My side B has a scratch perpendicular to the grooves, there is a tok tok for all the time.
I asked for a substitution to DG they offered me 5 euros of refund…
Filed a PayPal controversy.. poor customer service.
