In Reply to: RE: The 24/96 FLAC download 1st movement cadenza is at 445, so is the SACD's CD layer posted by John Atkinson on September 14, 2015 at 04:42:04
"There is also the fact that the master tape box itself is marked "A=445Hz."
Except that that doesn't explain the YouTube clips and presumably CD issues. If the machine that made that master was in fact slow it does not necessitate reissues being sharp.
"As I said, the YouTube version of the first movement is longer by almost the exact amount to reduce the pitch from A=445Hz to A=440Hz. For me that is the clincher."
That should be, really, all that is necessary. Why wasn't timing info included in the original article? Is the SACD timing different than CD versions? Having said that, your claim that it was "slowed down" implies that the YouTube version began at the faster speed, that is what I'm asking about in terms of your claim.
