ReplyDeleteI own a Dutton Labs CD of this record issued in 1998 (still available online) but I prefer the EMI/HMV LP.
Hello Joe,
DeleteI'll have to find someone to 'lend' *me* some Historical LP's..!!
Webster Booth is distinctly good in most of this repertoire - and was surprised to see most of these were not available (didn't 'find' the Dutton).
'Celeste Aida' is really very fine - and Bryan Crimp did some pretty decent transfers (but there's a lot of low-frequency 'hum' in the Verdi - though I had to tackle some severe groove problems (side 1/Track 1 - from 1-minute - lasting for about 25 secs) - which I hope aren't now too obvious?
