as I know really well Szell's interpretations of major works. I got a German pressed in Austria redbook of the New World, and it's disgusting. Some engineer had tried to "filter" the violins and strings. Sounded literally like blankets esp in loud passages.I saved your post on the Beethoven 9th.
I agree that Gold Epics can be gritty. I got a really nice Emperor with Fleisher, but must try the newer cleaning ways. Overall, beautiful copy. Blue Epics are what my family collected for years, and I have time to time visits and access. Mom says, "take them all."
Brother looks with a bit of a scowl.Have you sampled the SACD of New World coupled with 8th?
