I've posted this before, but maybe it deserves a repeat: when I accompanied a week-long master class with Phyllis Curtin, she shared with the singers some of her experiences making recordings. One of the recordings she found most annoying was Berg's "Le Vin", with Leinsdorf and the BSO - an early Dynagroove effort. One thing she particularly hated about this recording was that the engineers had her standing about 65 feet away from Leinsdorf. (It was obviously one of the first instances of the sound stage being virtually assembled ex post facto in the mixing room.) What she couldn't stand was, being that far away from the conductor, she could not have the intimate musical communication with him that could be expected in a normal concert set-up - where she would be only a few feet away. She begged the engineers to record in a normal concert set-up, but they wouldn't relent. This master class was held c. 1980, and the vagaries of the engineering from this mid-60's recording still riled her after all those years!
So maybe the UK engineers remixed the tracks on their Dynagroove issues? I don't know, but that Moffo recording has never sounded right to me (from an engineering point of view), on either the US LP or the US CD issues. I would have thought that the Japanese would have had a try at reissuing it too (XRCD anyone?), but I'm not aware of any Japanese remastering.
