In Reply to: RE: Good to know it sounds awesome, but when the original recording was of higher quality, why posted by ahendler on December 18, 2016 at 20:00:57:
I strongly agree with your point that performances are more important than sound quality. But I wanted to correct a date in your post: Horowitz and Toscanini recordings of the Tchaikovsky first piano concerto date from 1941 and 1943. Horowitz didn't record that concerto in the 1920s. There are also some great broadcast performances of Horowitz playing this concerto in slightly better sound, including a 1950 version with Szell and NY Philharmonic that's easily located on youtube.
