Cyfrowy analog!

Aż trudno uwierzyć, że tak brzmi... zwykła płyta! Zapasy sprzed ponad 27 lat! Jaka dynamika, jaka scena i przestrzeń! Tak, oto przed Państwem relikty z ostatnich lat świetności tłoczeń wykonywanych bezpośrednio z taśm-matek, sprzed wszechobecnego już dziś świata kopii cyfrowych, plików i 'wiernych' odbitek zapisów studyjnych. Z jednej strony - te magnetyczne oryginały na taśmach należy strzec i pieczołowicie chronić, dla potomności. Ale co z nami, melomanami tu i teraz? Mamy zaiste, sycić się ersatzem? Oryginalne zapasy sprzed lat! Płyty CD z epoki, kiedy wielu spośród Państwa dopiero przygotowywało się na spotkanie z tym światem! * * * AllMusic Review by Blair Sanderson [-] EMI has reissued several of Klaus Tennstedt's vital recordings from the 1980s, and these excellent interpretations may confound notions of what can be found on budget CDs. These performances of Felix Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 4 in A major, "Italian," and Franz Schubert's Symphony No. 9 in C major, "The Great," provide fine examples of Tennstedt's durable musicianship, and the playing of the Berlin Philharmonic under his leadership is absolutely rock solid, with the technical precision, polished sonorities, and expressive depth that are hallmarks of this world-class orchestra. The only aspect of this disc that may be disappointing is the somewhat flat reproduction in the Mendelssohn: while the sound was exceptional for 1980, it pales a little by contemporary digital standards, and the Berlin Philharmonic seems slightly veiled in tone and timbre, unless the volume is turned up quite high. But play it loudly anyway, because the performance of the "Italian" is exuberant and pulsing with emotion, and "The Great," which was recorded in 1983 and has much better sound quality, may be stirring enough to rouse some listeners from their easy chairs to "air conduct." Tennstedt's inspired direction and the Berliners' magnificent performances count far more than the limitations of EMI's recording, so prospective buyers should note this when weighing their options.
