"HDTT (High Definition Tape Transfers) have made this album available in several different formats, the one I listened to being an HDCD. Although HDTT usually transfer their recordings from tape, in this case they used a Decca vinyl LP, recorded in Kingsway Hall, London, in 1961. The sound exhibits a very wide dynamic range, with HDTT using enough noise reduction to keep ticks, pops, and hiss to the barest minimum without affecting the tonal balance or high end"
Classical Candor
HDTT lists are always worth keeping an osprey eye on. You never know what they are going to come up with.
At one time HDTT used to source all their material from the commercial reel-to-reel tapes that in the 1950s-1970s were more popular in the USA than in the UK. Some of the sound they realised from these sources remains astonishingly vivid - a real buzz to hear. This CD derives from an iconic British Council-sponsored Decca LP. It was from the Beatles era when British classical music was pretty scarce in the catalogues.
