some posted against Rostropovich, I took the time to review parts of my HvK pairing and then played much of the 1st movement of the Boston/Ozawa, having played parts of the 3rd movement the other night. The latter is definitely inferior and makes me want to sample my cassette 5.10.69 Cleveland/Szell live. I have good memories of it.Instead, I went to Fournier/Szell, my favorite studio older LP, and it was fraught with noise (snap, crackles, etc.). I decided to clean it up (Spray and Wash spritzes included) and let it dry.
I then played Starker/Dorati/LSO, but the sound (Mercury) just wasn't there (sorry), so I went to mono Starker/Susskind/Philharmonia. Ahhh. SStarker right on, less forced vs. his remake, sound good with lots of hall ambience and bass.
Then I returned to Fournier/Szell--now, clean and quiet and better clarity. 90% of noise gone! I had lived with noise on that LP for 20 years? Now it really is the best one with superior sound too (DGG German pressing, non tuliped), with the mono Starker also in the running.
