RUDOLF MORALT
Vienna Symphony and Vienna Chamber Choir

MOZART: Mass in C Minor
(The Historical 1956 Recording)

$12.00 per CD

Truly a wonderful recording of Mozart's best setting of the Mass. For this recording additions were made to complete the work as determined by tradition as to what Mozart actually used himself to give a complete performance and show off his new Viennese bride to Salzburg by was of this incredible music. His wife, Constanza was a soprano of talent as the solos of the C Minor Mass demand. Teresa Stitch-Randall is the soprano in this recording and demonstrates that singing this music should be a prayer instead of an opera aria. It is enough to make any listener repent. The recording is dated but the transfer is a labor of love. The other soloist are Hilde Rössl-Majdan, Waldemar Kmentt and Walter Raninger. Sections used to complete the mass are taken from Mozart's Mass in C K. 262. HQ MP3 Sample here

EDUARD VAN BEINUM
Concertgebouw Orchestra, Amsterdam

BRUCKNER: Symphony Nº 9 in D Minor

(The Historical 1941 Live Concert Recording)

$12.00 per CD

Recorded “live” in the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam on January 16, 1941 and
remastered from 78rpm acetate discs of variable quality. Van Beinum bring forth one of the most powerful recordings of the monumental Bruckner 9th. Simply and incredible performance with a last movement that seems to speak volumes about the time and place of this performance and recording as well as that of Bruckner. Every effort was made to maintain the sonic integrity of the original 64-year-old recording with no overuse of noise reduction.  HQ MP3 Sample here

RAVEL: Bolero, La Valse
TCHAIKOVSKY: Nutcracker Suite
MUSSORGSKY: Pictures at an Exhibition (orch. Ravel)

$12.00 per CD

Recorded in the mid and late 1950's, this CD release features Eduard van Beinum conducting Ravel's most familiar orchestral works but in interpretations that go far beyond the ordinary. Woodwind playing is spectacular with that COA sound that we all want to hear. The Mussorgsky with Haitink is splendid from beginning to end.   Highly recommended.   IN STEREO   HQ MP3 Sample here

SAINT-SAËNS: Samson et Dalila (Hightlights)
Risë Stevens, soprano; Jan Peerce, tenor; Robert Merill, baritone

$12.00 per CD

This release boast some of the best mono sound RCA ever achieved with - as they say - the single mic technique.   Recorded in Manhattan Center, NYC, we hear the NBC captured with good acoustics for a change. Stokowski pulls out all the stops here with a finale that is unbelievable. The soloists' singing is what you would expect although Peerce's French leaves much to the imagination, and Risë Stevens demos that wonderful voice with deep ovetones in her entire range. Unfortunately for us, the entire opera was was never recorded, only these highlights exist. The chorus is the "icing on the cake." A tour de force on all fronts.   HQ MP3 Sample here

GEORGE SZELL

TCHAIKOVSKY: Violin Concerto in D Major, Nathan Milstein, violin

DVORAK: Piano Concerto in G Minor, Rudolf Firkusny, piano

$12.00 per CD

Two great recordings on one CD. This Munch/BSO Milstein recording set a standard for playing in 1953. The recording's dynamic range, although acceptable did not convey Munch's intentions much. This release is a vast improvement of the sound taken from a "Plum Shaded Dog" RCA release in mint condition. The Szell.CO/Firkusny is a very scarce LP and is the only commercial recording Szell ever made of this wonderful Dvorak Concerto.   A mint "six eye" Columbia pressing is the source of this transfer, with honest, robust Severance Hall acoustics faithfully captured.

75th Anniversary Musical History of the Boston Symphony & Boston Pops
Milton Cross, narrator with guest appearance by Arthur Fiedler

$12.00 per CD

We came across an un-played-condition LP recently of this 98¢ classic RCA Victor LP issue of 1955. (Our old copy, purchased in 1955, looks like an LP used as a beach frisbee!)   It's a first rank nostalgia trip for us and hopefully it will be for you too and it's very informative with many musical BSO and BPO excerpts.  Sonics have been improved throughout. The narration is amusing and priceless with Cross' "toidy toid street accent Fiedler's "Haahvid yaahd" accents. If you have not ever heard this LP you are in for an hour of fun listening. You may very well ask this question: What has happened to the the BSO? HQ MP3 Sample here

$12.00 per CD

Recorded in the Dvorak Hall of the Rudolfinum in 1964. Kosler holds back the tempi, creating a dramatic effect that is immense in concept with a dynamic range that sets it apart from all the others.
