Title: Great performance, bad sound quality
Product review: Kulenkampff and Schmidt-Isserstedt's Beethoven Concerto is among my very favorite performances of this work. Schmidt-Isserstedt is a wonderful interpreter of Beethoven and Kulenkampff's gorgeous tone and profound musicianship are a perfect match for this piece.Unfortunately, the sound quality on this CD is much worse than the exact same performance I once had on LP some years ago.What happened? Did they have a bad master copy to work with?The pitch is very sharp and the sound quality--which is generally pretty muffled--fluctuates widely.Hopefully someone else will have a go at remastering and reissuing this classic recording!
