Home Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Turntable Hype

62.108.1.71

Today I picked up my Rega with the Blue Point Special MC Cartridge, grabbed me a copy of the only half an hour released Beatles 'Yellow Submarine' LP and speeded housewards. First spin was 'Das Lied von der Erde' with Walter/Ferrier and at the same time I'd put in the CD. The CD always sounded kind of crappy to me, leaving Ferrier with an emotional but not very beautiful voice in the sense of airless, something which is also present in some Callas-recordings and now this problem is cured. YES!

The Beethoven 9 with Cluytens is also very okay, thank you Ears for recommending it, otherwise I'd never bought it eventhough it only costed $0,50. It's a very nice performance indeed and imo better than the Herreweghe we recently spoke about.

Grateful to all these people who I've met here in our Music Asylum Lane, who talked me into older recordings than the purely digital ones.
