Part One was recorded from an off-air test disc, Part Two from a re-broadcast of NBC's master lacquers. As such there is a slight discrepancy in sound quality, with marginally higher hiss levels on the first disc. Copies of the first half of this concert have circulated amongst collectors for some time, and the Graener has been issued on CD. I also believe the Debussy and Dvořák recordings surfaced on LPs some years ago, but never onto CD.This new restoration tackles some of the inherent problems of the aircheck disc for the first time, using audio technology not previously available to restoration engineers to remove or dramatically reduce radio interference and also tackle various hum frequencies and assorted radio whistles present throughout the original master. It has also been possible to fix a number of drop-outs in the recordings we were presented with, which had been dubbed onto open-reel tape some years ago. The original recordings were of course mono, but the tape hiss from later transfers was wide and stereo. I have narrowed the stereo field of this hiss, though some very mild stereo spread may still be evident in upper frequencies.578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fTOSCANINI The Barber Première Concert (1938) GRAENER Die Flöte von Sanssouci1. 1.
