Hey everyone - On this day 73 years ago, William Kapell was in the process of recording Chopin’s 3rd sonata. It was to be a total of three sessions, recording on May 19 & 21 of 1951 and June 23, 1952. His rendition remains one of my very favorites and I am very happy to present this in stereo utilizing the Haas effect. The Haas effect of 1949 states that when one sound is followed by another with a delay of approximately 40 ms or less (below humans’ echo threshold), the two are perceived as a single sound. This provides an opportunity to stereoize the original mono audio. Also in this video is Kapell’s lively rendition of Chopin’s Waltz in E-flat Major, Op. 18 recorded on June 24, 1952. I hope you all enjoy these two renditions, and stay tuned for more to come as part of my ongoing Kapell Stereo Series.
カペルというピアニストを正直聴いたことが無かったので、今探していた時のUPに感謝します。音質も良いですね。
