Subject: New Mascagni purchases. Hi Erik,
Just got the new Isabeau and am generally pretty
impressed. Orchestra good but very slightly below the standard of the
MRFstereo recording. However in the MRFrecording Marcela Pobbe was not on
good form. I also got the Guglielmo Ratcliff 1963 RAI
recording. The transfer quality is better than I had
expected.
Do you have the L'amico Fritz conducted by
Mascagni? I have this on vinyl but it very wowy, nice performance
though. Is their wow on the Warner Cetra CD
transfer? Obviously you will only know the answer if you have the
CD.
I am thinking of ordering the Bongiovanni
Pinotta/Zanetto CD set, can you recommend this?
Hope you don't mind me emailing you with
questions. The problem is that it is impossible to hear these recordings
before purchasing them.
Are you thinking of introducing a CD review
section to the website? that is the only thing that is missing from an
otherwise truly excellent and informative site.
With kind regards
Michael
