In celebrating an upcoming milestone of 4,000 subscribers, i thought it might be a good time to start a series that I had been thinking about for a while. Over several decades I have put together a nice collection of classical music, and wanted to start sharing special records with you. These videos will be a separate series, that will be in addition to my usual content. I hope you will find these interesting and useful in adding to or starting your own classical collection.
I consider classical or symphonic music to be the original "audiophile" music. Starting with the stereo era (1959), most hi fi buffs, or audiophiles were deeply into classical music. These early stereo recordings were, in addition to great music which was well recorded, the perfect vehicle to demonstrate and test the parameters of a stereo hi fi system. Why would that be? It's because the early stereo classical recordings were simply miked, and helped to bring about the concept of hearing a three dimensional illusion of the instruments on the stage, in recreating the concert hall experience at home. One other thing about this time in classical recording was the talent that the major labels has access to, both on stage and in the recording booth. A perfect example of this is the record set under review, The Romantic Rachmaninoff, a box set of four records comprising the four piano concertos and two shorter pieces, Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini and Isle Of The Dead. These works are superbly played by Earl Wild, with Jascha Horenstein conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Produced by Charles Gerhardt and engineered by Kenneth Wilkinson, and I feel it is the perfect title to kick off this series
I hope you enjoy the series as much as i enjoy sharing it with you!
