Description:

Amazing reissue of Furtwängler's famous recording from the very rare original Austrian recording for enthusiasts! Production NoteManabu Kaneko (Behrenpratte)I once compared the early version of "The Countryside" performed by Furtwängler and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra with the German, French, British, and Austrian recordings. In my personal opinion, the sound quality of each country's disc can be summarized as follows: the German disc is profound, the British disc is elegant, and the French disc is brilliant. As for the Austrian disc this time, my overall impression is that the heavier sound is similar to that of the German disc, but in terms of glossy sound, this disc is superior to the discs from other countries. However, I suspect that not many people have actually heard this Austrian disc, even if they are quite enthusiastic about it. Fortunately, I had three copies in stock, so I carefully listened to them and selected the one with the best pressing and condition.After several more listening sessions, the FFRR was used as the equalizer curve. Even those who have heard this performance on other LPs and CDs will surely notice the different beauty of this performance by listening to this Austrian version. The world of analog music is that deep. KIYOTOMO Mamoru (VINTAGE JOIN): I selected these three rare HMV Austrian recordings by listening to the sound. Although they are from the same matrix, the sound is totally different from disc to disc. First of all, we select the discs by listening to them many times and being conscious of the differences in the way the sound comes out, the way the noise comes in, and the pleasant, flowing sound of the VPOs. The same goes for the selection of equipment. The turntable was an Elac Miracord 10H (1962) with an Elac idler player, and the cartridge was an Elac MST-1 (mono 1955).The MST-1 has an output of approximately 22mV. The MST-1 is not a cartridge that produces sound amplified by a phono amp or preamplifier, but a cartridge that generates a large amount of sound density. The stylus tip should be diamond or sapphire so that the airy sound of pianissimo can be produced. Natural rubber or synthetic rubber for the damper? We selected a stylus with diamond and natural rubber damper. The needle pressure was gradually increased from 3g to match with the board. For the equalizer curve, we compared FFRR and NAB, and after discussion with Mr. Kaneko of Behlenplatte, FFRR was selected. When selecting the curve, the sound of woodwinds and brass is easy to understand, so we placed emphasis on how well the resonance, reverberation, and disappearance of the sound fit into the hall and how natural it is.
