Post Subject: The Beethoven’s Nine of all.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 1/29/2006
Alex,
if you still care bout the Beethoven’s symphonies then here is a sexy lead for you.
There are many-many releases of the celebrated psychedelic performance of the Ninth by Furtwangler’s in 1942. Probably the “Music and Art’s” was the best release attempt on CD. Still, if you wish to get it analog then try to find the “Unicorn Records” release – it is insultingly good and well worth ANY amount money to pay for it. I do not think that any more powerful reading and performing of this work ever was committed to recording media and the “Unicorn Records” release is the best mastering among a dozen attempts that I was exposed to. (Including the Japanese mastering in 1996 and the Green Hall’s CRU series “The True Sound of Furtwangler”.). It is spresd accros 3 side of the albom and it is... very very high qulety of sound. It is speeds across 3 sides of the album and it is... very-very high quality of sound. If you looking for a REAL High-End then you will not find anything "higher"....
