In Reply to: SACD source, is old recording worth it ? posted by akltam on August 1, 2002 at 08:01:53:
the Bernstein "New World" has some slight, and not unexpected, tape hiss, but I don't hear anything amounting to deterioration that makes it unenjoyable. There are no discernible dropouts, and the acoustic exhibits none of the "dried-out" characteristic of recordings I've heard where the source has obviously deteriorated (e.g., the Turnabout Johanos recording of Rachmaninoff's "Symphonic Dances").What you may be hearing is a combination of the mikes Columbia used at the time and the acoustic of Manhattan Center, where the Dvorak was recorded. I've noticed that same-era New York Philharmonic Columbias recorded at Brooklyn's St. George Hotel (e.g., the "Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue" and "American in Paris") have a more "open" feel to them.
I agree that it behooves the industry to DSD-archive classic performances as soon as possible.
