Thank you very much for your wonderful uploads. You are a beacon for music lovers who value recordings of historic importance.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind comment!
DeleteBeecham was well-served on World Records so have a bit more (Delius boxes, etc). Have been told the LP's are rather superior to the CD issues.
Happen to have a new 78 set of B.Gentilhomme (6) but Hardwick's transfer from Vinyls is rather quieter.. (tho' over-bright for the other side). I'd be interested if the BBC 'Elektra' was on the 'net as it's almost 40 years since hearing it on BBC Radio 3.
Many thanks for this - WRC did a great job for Beecham.
DeleteVague suspicion the CD had something extra in the Strauss-line?
DeleteHad intended uploading, quite some time back, Bantock Fifine from the better 1981 SXLP (c/w stereo Songs of Sunset) + the HQM of Fand + maybe Delius Contry Sketches / Arnell - all around 1949-ish.
Muchas gracias, saludos.
