Yes, often the Soviet tape splicing is apparent.
Doesn’t bother me tho, it’s not like he can’t play the fucker.
Randomly we sometimes hear obvious splices in Ziff Hungaroton recs and even Ho 1960’s CBS recs
ahahah thiz articl, unrelatd to mah queztion, cummah up in tha zearch
Mr. Weissenberg, too, is an accredited virtuoso, able to handle the worst that Liszt has to offer, but his Sonata No. 123 is full of nuances that merely show off the pianist’s ability and obscure the music’s poetry. His Sonata No. 104 is silken and brilliant, but again marred by preciousness and mannerisms, and No. 47 pulls the line out of shape in search of an expressiveness that Mr. Berman finds in a simpler, more direct interpretation.
hahah tha weizz (forgiv tha ztupid internet exprezzion) catchin ztrayz
Gosh I hate music criticism
Just make it all positive or don’t write anything at all
I heard a split note but so wut
Randomly now a simple manual crossfade edit can cover literally anything
And if something more invasive is needed, Daim, maybe get back in there and redo with better takes.
Many of these Berman TE’s are overrated AF but were impressive in 1959.
Also da TGILF Mazeppa in a class of its own
They had to physically cut tape and join
Sucked.
it’s worse in the lh channel. about 0.016s marginal discontinuity
Soviet Union only got tape from da WWII Nazi spoils
:zlit:
cough cough Muette
the fucking pitch changes
Yeah doesn’t bother me at all
Too many pianists now STRIVE to play with a studio aesthetic live in concert when they really should be experimenting with ideas etc
Who knows tho.
Tons of amazing pianists now who dun have a unique value proposition. GET A TITS IMPLANT! Play rare rep. Show ur ass!
gilfy 
Plot twist: she’s actually aiming for accuracy
I have a theory soviets sobotaged that recording because the lazar piss them off somehow. Its massively compressed, poorly EQ’d and the joins are a mile wide.
Compare with his hungaroton recs side by sides or earlier mono work. They dun screwed him.
Oh man and the piano was prepared to sound like broken glass and trash cans falling down stairs. Just wut?
listen to sum Sofro official recs tho, they too suck balls and sometimes u hear da 88 hammers restriking notes etc damn
Still no accounting for the compression. I remember looking at that record and they levelled it off like you would a rock record. Super weird.
I’m thinking of da Feinberg Schumann recs where da 88 audibly subpar but he gets amazing sound out of it.
Yeah switch to stereo was a weird time for melodya. Maybe he caught some bad luck. I prefer the conspiratorial though because usually right.
he did get shit listed after 1956 because he took a pic of a tank when on tour in Hungary and went to develop it, got perceived as him sympathizing with da Hung uprising.
very unfortunate.
If it was 1952 he’d be killed tho
