Title: Please Select INSTEAD the Better Music & Arts Transfer!
Review: Warning: Sirio Records employs HEAVY Cedar computer processing in a specious attempt to sanitize old recordings, and thereby removes not only high frequency noise and clicks, but also ambience, air, and instrumental timbre!Sometimes the results are absolutely execrable, and the sound is mushy and intolerably dull. There is a preferable alternative release, made on Music & Arts, of these broadcasts, in genuine MONO sound, with some surface noise, but with all the original contents of the recordings intact, including the highs and ambience.Piano music fanciers should note that Ania Dorfmann's traversal of the Choral Fantasy solo part is spotty and clumsy, with blurred passages. However, Toscanini, and orchestra, and chorus, are all quite thrilling.
