No I heard the 45 classic records at OMA. So that's the other thing you missed in addition to the coffee Mike
we do have a coffee pot; so guests can bring the coffee of their choice (and some do) and make it themselves.
we don't know how. but this 1/2" does go beyond any pressing. i have a number of 45 versions......including the Classics Records.
For performance you should also listen to the 4th Symphony conducted by Evgeny Mravinsky with the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra. IMHO the sound and byte of the russian orchestra is very adequate to Tchaikovsky and Mravinsky is one of the best for this piece of music. This recording sounds also really great, BTW.
We have this in common. I do like Mravinsky on 4 too. I have this set bought from discog.
It was interrupted by a false fire alarm and I had to turn off the system. This record sounds so good G. I love the air in the hall, the naked transparency, the depth although not the width. And the performance is just exhilarating. No boring prolonging passage. You know my taste. Keep them coming pls.
kindest regards,

Yes, Yevgeny Mravinsky is great in these Tchaikovsky and also very much so in Shostakovich symphonies generally. He premiered the Shostakovich 5,6,8,9 and 10 symphonies and was permanent director of the Leningrad Philharmonic from right back in 1938 all the way through till 1988. Not always represented well in the quality of recordings though unfortunately but still one of the great Russian conductors.
The 4th is definitely in Maazel's wheelhouse. Whichever orchestra he's with plays this piece well.
I listened to Albert Wolff with the Paris group, not on a first edition but a stereo London. I found Wolff's timing a bit quirky throughout. While the sound was clear (the video clip above is better than my copy) the Paris brass struck me as a bit thin.
Did you know this piece contains one of the world's most difficult piccolo solos? Third movement, 21 notes in 3 seconds.
You heard it thin likely because of my room acoustic is not properly set, not the record itself.

Dear Tima,
The quirky time is part of the performance,metronome controlled beating is not my personal taste.
Was the London press wide band grooved?

It will improve if you move the vdh to Opus on that particular piece
Mravinsky on tulips only,stereo(red) or mono(blank)
The reasoning for this would require me to write a book.
Kindest regards,G.

I’d like to read that book... actually I’d like to read any of your books G.
Dear Tao,
Should the need arise and you find yourself here,you are more than welcome to edit my rants.
That said the bathrooms here are pants(17th century plumbing) but the temperature cool enough for the vinyl.
The main problem I face with the book concept,many find it difficult to absorb that opinion is not meant to supersede fact.
The short answer is that all the record companies were at the mercy of skills bordering on witch craft,as such needed to standardise their race to the bottom where production values were allowed to slip.
Kindest regards,G.

Yes - the timing is Wolff's, he's the clock and the band followed. There are other interpretations.
Alas, it's an FFRR STS 15016 orange label Treasury Series. The performance came through.

I heard it my room too - a week ago. Your video confirmed the same character.
Dear G.
Given the time difference between here and your 17th century plumbing I might not understand everything you say at times G. but I am sure that when you play the music I would just completely get it. The words fall away and there is just communion when the better music plays. That’s probably why opera is mostly in other languages (thank heavens).
So you all make vinyl references and recommendations and I often hunt these down where I can off the stream to taste these performers and performances. I understand it’s not the same but the music is there still underneath. It’s really fantastic and just very much appreciated. I learn most every other day. Plumbing is largely irrelevant in comparison.
Best wishes as always

Plumbing is required to flush down a lot of modern hifi
Your scheherazade reissue. Compare the brass in the same setting and room acoustic and let us know
