Fantastic recording. You really have a great reproducer that catch every single detail of the orchestra. Nothing that can compare with any digital recording. Thanks again for sharing them. Honestly with your Vynil recordings, you open my appetite to know any new or old piece on Vynil Sounds. Sometimes I don't get the enthusiasm to hear a new piece cause the digital sound does not make me happy at all...And this it does...Valid to any video you uploaded here...😀
I was lucky to attend a Klemperer Concert when I was 17, in 1962 at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, with the Philadelphia Orchestra: Bach 1st Brandenburg Concerto, Mozart Jupiter Symphony and Beethoven 7th Shmphony.
Majestätische und wunderschöne Interpretation dieser romantischen und großartigen Sinfonie mit gut harmonisierten und perfekt vereinigten Tönen aller Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders überzeugend und auch bezaubernd. Der unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im entschiedenen Tempo und mit völlig effektiver Dynamik. Die verbesserte Tonqualität ist auch erstaunlich hoch als eine originale Aufnahme von fast sechzig Jahren vor. Alles ist wunderbar!
Just magic!!! Thank you for introducing me to a stunning Klemperer recording!! I put this performance of "The Great" together with Furtwängler's majestic rendition...even if the two are almost opposite!! This one has a very steady and flowing rhythm,while the other is based entirely on subtle changes of speed according to the mood of this or that particular section...and yet..both performances work incredibly well,both are true,genuine masterpieces!!! (This one is also incredibly well recorded,kudos to EMI sound engineers!!)
Thank you for your comments! My father introduced me to this recording (on a mono Columbia disc) many, many years ago. This stereo version comes up really well - as you say the EMI engineers at the time produced a great sound.The only other version I have of this is Roger Norrington's London Classical Players (on CD) - a very different feel to this, rather light and missing the majestic sweep of Klemperer here.
@@ClassicsAndVinyl I sometimes wonder whether the mono recordings of the pre stereo era were not better than the later Stereo remakes. EMI made speakers at the time. They advertized them as having superior transient response. Is it possible that better Transient response could achieve what Stereo was trying to do ,i.e. provide sepatation between instruments?
Fantastic performance and amazing recording, in the 60s EMI was clearly at his best, unfortunaly, many of those amazing recordings where very poor presented on the early CD remasterings, but this record sounds wonderful.
I hope you'll share the 1962 Klemperer Mahler 4th if you find a good copy. I recently bought a NM US Angel with a similar sound quality. The early 60's Scranton Capitol pressings were quite good.
Outstanding performance by Klemperer of the GREAT of Schubert. It's pure joy to be able to listen to this marvelous recording quality. Thank you !!

deshalb sind die Columbia-Erstpressungen aus dieser Zeit auch so teuer! Ich höre sie gerade und finde, sie ist jeden Cent wert!
@@grobifrank1976 Sie sind echt glücklich!
@@notaire2 momentan sind selbst diese Erstpressungen recht günstig zu haben, siehe EBay!-)
@@grobifrank1976 Danke für Ihre informative Antwort. Ich will da suchen.
@@notaire2 meiner Erfahrung nach sind die Verkäufer zurzeit zu deutlichen Preisnachlässen bereit!
A sober and reserved performance.
*Classics and Vinyl* Awesome vibes....🏆🏆🏆🏆

@@joedeegan3870 Mono recordings can certainly sound very good, and good speakers will enhance whatever is played through them.
Truly Excellent !!!

Thank you for your comments! These 1960 EMI recordings are really quite special ;o) A "golden age" of the gramophone!

I don't have that record, but I'll keep a lookout for a decent copy.
I would lke to leave a comment on your blog but it won't accept my password so I give up.
