Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

This miserable Japanese freaks did it again!

For years the Scherchen Mozart Requiem 1953 performance was available only on the Westminster LP and at few privet low quality CD transfers, The Universal/DG has the wonderful transfer (289 471 201-2) of  Scherchen’s 1958 stereo performance with Vienna Sate opera. It is very-very good, one of the best, but still it never reached the magnificent 1953 mono recording with Magda Laszlo, Hilde Roessel-Majdan, Petre Munteanu and Richard Standen.

Today I went to the HMV Japan site to follow up with my order and juts for fun, known that at this site imposable turns sometimes inot possible I searched for Scherchen+Laszlo.  Surpasse, Surpasse … the site returned me the following….

Are those Japanese folks are comply out of control! Thank God they are!!!

I do not know this label and the quality of the transfer. It looks like it is a French label as the French folsk sell it:

I hope it has no La Marseillaise opening in the third movement.

Anyhow, this is another phenomenal lead from the HMV Japan site. I wonder if Universal would eventually release it? As soon they do I would go search for the Universal Tokyo.

Or perhaps I should stop do it and start to use my Lavry AD 122 and press my own CD?
