LPs: batch 13 – Dvořák is too loud

There was a problem disc in this batch: Kertesz and the LSO playing Dvořák’s 8th symphony, which was recorded at a high level and registered as too loud when I played it in. Will need to re-do at a lower level. Looking at the label, it’s clear that it’s an old disc, possibly even from the 1960’s.

Also in the batch was the only disc of organ music: Marie-Claire Alain playing assorted Bach on assorted organs (and labelled only in Dutch). On a light note we had Offenbach’s Gaité Parisienne (and Gounod’s ballet music from Faust) played by Dutoit and Montreal. Our other Mahler disc: Wunderhorn songs with Popp/Weikl/Tennstedt and the LPO. Chamber music was represented by Yuri Egorov playing some Schumann (Carnaval/Papillons/Toccata) and two Mozart quartets played by the Bartok Quartet. Finally, I started on a trawl through Beethoven symphonies with 1 and 2 played by the Munich Philharmonic under Kempe.
