Brigg Fair/Marche Caprice are noisy shellac. Minimally edited those; & trying De-Click killed the clarity (Surprise!)...
Different turntable set-up used. Sammons - Moiseiwitsch versions of the Concerto's are below.. Richard Warren's 1979 ARSC review SHB54 Text / Discography >>>
Wonderful! Nice to hear Betty Humby- Beecham, and of course Delius - Beecham is a very happy combination! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHer performance is rather better than I recalled hearing (BBC Radio 3, sometime in the '70's - there was a early '60's HMV transfer): but still prefer Moiseiwitsch's 1946.
