This is a simple batch to describe as it consisted of a trawl through Beethoven’s symphonies. We have two recordings of the Eroica<\/em> one of which (Sanderling and the Philharmonia) is about half as long again as the other (Karajan and the Berlin Phil). Also Karajan doing no. 4 and another recording of no. 2 (a Supraphon of Kletzki and the Czech Philharmonic). There are some recordings by Jochum and the LSO: the 9th,8th and 5th, with the Fidelio<\/em> overture as a filler. I believe that the length of a CD was set so that a recording of Beethoven’s 9th would fit on a single disc, and indeed it does.<\/p>\n

I’ll describe the set up where I record. The laptop sits next to the turntable, with the pre-amp connecting them. The LPs are ranged around in a couple of boxes, a pile, and a row lined up against the wall. The LPs I’ve recorded are all together, in approximately the order I recorded them. The sleeve of the currently playing LP is propped against the side of the pile, rather as a record shop displays ‘what’s playing now’. Other equipment includes a big drum of blank CDs, an album for the finished ones, a set of marker pens, a brush for cleaning the discs, another brush for cleaning the stylus and a small bottle of stylus cleaning fluid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
