Excellent!! This will be fantastic, I'm sure!

Oh, no.  1980 has become "historical".

[Brahmsian]

A peek forward to April.

Hmm, looks like a Steve Jobs Apple ad.  Featuring the iViolin.  Only available on iTunes.

+1 Clever, Ray.

Paging Que:


Although I'm sure that at least some of the second recording is  a re-release, since the Psalm 51 can be found in the Teldec Complete Bach box.  (But it's worth getting if you don't have the box.)

And this one, one of my private preferences, from Glossa: works of Salamone Rossi

1980 "historical"!?!

[Octave]

Hahaha we're old. 
Maybe, rather, the effort now is to give aesthetic weight/import to crappy sound itself.  In fact, didn't someone make this joke in another thread just in the past couple days, that the terrible of [such-and-such a recording] is itself part of the attraction or fascination?

[kishnevi]

I think historical in the Hanssler vocabulary can be defined as "tape of a performance we found in the German radio archives featuring a performer who is now dead"

Here is Presto's list of other CDs in that series (but no mention of the Gilels)

The Kondrashin (which I have) is from 1981; the Francescatti doesn't have a date attached; the others are from the 1950s or early 1960s--the most recent date mentioned for them is 1965,

I feel that way, and have said so before (quite seriously, actually) about the 1956 Vienna Mravinsky DSCH 5th (either "faked" or "real" [can't find a link, currently]).

I kind of enjoy the distortion - because it adds to the tortured and pained quality of this Symphony which gives it an interpretive hue all of its own.

I wonder what quality of the rips they use. There was something like this available at other labels, but quality varied.

Looking at my 320 kbps MP3 files, I see an average around 140MB to 1 hour. The Teldec complete Bach edition contains 153 CDs, so if you assumed an average of an hour each, that's about 21 gigabytes. I'm sure someone will come along and point out the problems in my math shortly.

Looks like Vanguard has been resurrected yet again (via MDT):

Wow, 32GB of wasted space.

You are obviously an expert in wasted space?  :-)

PDFs, "Making of" Video...
don't be confused by the awkward German-to-English computer lingo... "for download" still means "included on the stick".

Touche.
