Transferencia de un disco RCA Camden CAL 215 integrado en su totalidad por obras grabadas en la era 78 RPM en los años precedentes al LP. En el disco, la mayoria de las orquestas figuran con nombres alternativos por cuestiones de contrato. El sonido del disco deja bastante que desear, la cinta maestra fue preparada a partir de muy buenas placas 78 RPM pero sometidas a un nivel de compresión brutal y con el agregado del eco que caracterizaba al "Enhanced Sound" de RCA en los 50's. A pesar de que en algunos casos es dificil escuchar claramente lo que está sucediendo y el "pitch" exacto es el menor de los problemas, decidí poner todos los tracks en A=440khz ya que las afinaciones originales variaban desde 443 hasta 449.
Thanks, Pablo - very interesting material!

ResponderEliminarThanks Pablo !
Thank you Century. I bought this album on a second hand store, was in very good condition, very few click for having 64 yrs, but what most call my attention was the selection of works. At that point I don´t have any Classical Symphony before 1948, only one Rodzinsky recording on vinyl and I want to hear him on Gayaneh Suite, I don´t have any recording of Piece Heroique by Cesar Franck. So, yes was a very atractive program with excellent conductors. The only issue was the sound, RCA dubbed those 78 RPM at very high volume, add reverb and finally saturate the tape, and adding insult to an injury, the set the volume control very close to the distortion level when the orchestra play on mf, so every tutti is a nightmare, and from time to time there is no way to know what the heck is going on. Anyway, I work @3 hours trying to pull up the sound above 7Khz in order to make the sound not so painful.
