(edit) Oh dear, I see this CD is the same old 1959 radio broadcast. What a disappointment. This work deserves a new performance.

Are you suggesting you've heard an alternative performance, - or that despite the "terrible old radio recording" you find it a very fine work nonetheless?

Yaskovsky on July 23, 2020, 08:00:56 am I found the musicweb review rather positive http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2020/Jun/Thirion_sy2_FR1741.htm
As for the sound picture it says 'As with most radio broadcasts of this vintage, a certain pallor envelopes the sound, with some loss of detail on occasion.' IMHO that's asomewhat different then 'terrible sounding'. (Haven't bought the CD myself, yet.)

Many of those same distributors and artists can make revenue from the ads on videos posted from their source material as long as the creator doesn't monetize. |
