Gustav Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde w/ Ruckert Songs. Walter, Ferrier, Patzak. London UK concert mix double LP There were two mixes that Decca made of Walter's Das Lied von der Erde: one that appeared on Decca and later London issues and one that appeared on early London UK pressings which have an X in front of the record numbers as seen below. The Decca mix has more upfront vocals while the early London X pressing has a concert mix with voices more balanced with orchestra. An Opus Kura 2008 double CD (OPK 2023) provides both mixes for the first time together with excellent remastering.
VinylBeat.com: LP Label Guide: Record Labels A - C: ANGEL Here's a guide to Angel labels. Types 1B and 2 are non-classical, and 3 is the historical series. Do they have 6 and 5 switched, chronologically? I thought the yellow and brown label came before the beige & black.
Anyone here uses SoundCloud, which offers lossless streaming? Looks like Spotify should be releasing lossless streaming soon ... SoundCloud brings high quality streaming to Go+ subscribers
For some reason I haven't figured out Conway Twitty (Harold Jenkins) is buried in Gallatin, TN, my home town.
First listen to "Nightfall" performed by Alice Sara Ott on DG. Looks like Alice and Helene had the same idea. Both CDs are very enjoyable.
Not that familiar with Ivan. I am more familiar with his brother Adam since I have all his Haydn Symphonies on Nimbus ...
That is awesome....the walk that is. I am not familiar with the CD. I did two miles today....not bad considering my ankle injury. I think I can do three this weekend and then hopefully back to the mountains...maybe 1,000 feet to start with. Heck after 1,000 feet I get scared of the mountain lions and bruins anyway.
I had a 9-mile walk on Sunday that took me a little 2 hours. No mountain in my area to climb anyway ...
That is great. I need to work my way back to that distance. There is a five thousand foot mountain about 100 yards from my house here in BC. Lots of mountains. I will never get to the top of one but they look good. My best hike is I did Franconia Ridge in New Hampshire in one day in my 40s. The good old days. I have done most of the mountains in Maine and NH. The Skyline Drive as well in VA.
Just became Medicare eligible earlier this month but have been in retirement for 5 1/2 years. I did not start walking a few times a week until summer of last year. When the weather gets snowy, I go to the gym though I have not been there since mid February. I still prefer walk in the open-space than working out in a gym ...
The page is a total mess. Obviously someone with little knowledge of US Angel threw it together. There are two different digital labels, wrong order, wrong description, missing variants etc.
Here's that digital label on a jazz/classical "crossover". Or maybe "composed jazz'. Anyway, I enjoyed this Concerto without an orchestra & the great playing from all involved. It also sounds good. Producer: Patti Laursen. Engineer: Robert Norberg. Recorded using the Mitsubishi Digital Recording System.
Recorded 12/19/58, Assembly Hall, Salt Lake City. Issued in stereo on WST 14064. I have the stereo version in a 2-CD 1988 MCA Classics Double Decker set along with Rodzinski's 'Nutcracker'.
Very cool find, actually one of about 25 Angels from mid to late 50's I found at one Goodwill recently, plus about 25 other late 50's RCA Mono, Mercury LP and more... I'll post a few of them moving forward. Condition on all is impeccable, and as you can see from the link, worth a few bucks too. Johanna Martzy - Concerto In E Minor / Romance No. 1 In G Major / Romance No. 2 In F Major
Issued 1/52, five months before I was born. Recorded 5/31/51, Musikverein. Producer: Victor Olof. Engineer: Cyril Windebank. In England Decca also issued this on 78s. My copy was pressed in the USA.
A flash never works well with shiny surfaces, which are most things you photograph. Maybe it's time to experiment on taking pictures without one?
The numerical sequence for these label styles should correspond to the time when they were used but apparently they don't. It is totally confusing ...
Old age sucks and I am sometime lazy at checking the comment before I post. I meant ... a little over 2 hours. I certainly hope I can keep doing this for a few more years ...
