Grumpy,
ReplyDeleteA most interesting contribution -- thank you! I will carve out some time to enjoy these just as soon as I finish studying Satyr's Blech items.
I recently happened to run across this at the ol' eBay USA and noted that this unknown Yelli kept some very prestigious company:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Schubert-Piano-Trio-1-daranyi-Hess-Salmond-CM-91-/380324466216?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item588d1ace28#ht_500wt_1156
Take a look and then check your bank balance!!
Cheers,

Thanks, Squirrel! She was a big star and deservedly so. I would never pay that for a set which is not uncommon. For some reason, her Schubert Trio has been little reissued on CD; I have it in APR's 1990 Hess 'Vignette', which also includes Brahms' Op.87 Trio with Jelly:

But my CDs are bronzing and the Brahms already won't play properly. APR should really make its entire back-catalogue available as downloads, and give us a chance to reinstate these tarnished, doomed pressings... Yours, Grumpier than ever
Nick,
ReplyDeleteAs usual, you are way ahead of me. It must be lonely at the top.
No wonder you are grumpy!
Yes, those APR brats owe us all. But downloads are not really a format with long life in them. They should reissue their catalog on 78 rpm shellac discs! How's that for irony? :)
Cheers
Squrirrel
No, no, I'm fine - I have bats, woodlice, slow-worms, all sorts of friends here! APR aren't the brats, though - it was PDO, the pressing company. APR is nice. Buy their new Grainger. Amazing! And so cheap. Now, what do you mean by downloads not having long life? G
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for these beautiful recordings and information you share with us! By the way: I have the Schubert trio with Hess and d'aranyi in my collection... I'll put it on my 'to do' list
ReplyDeleteGreetz
