The earliest of the three can be heard on LP and CD complete with crackles and clicks, having been originally transferred to master tape from 78rpm disc masters on which it was made (which quite possibly would have then been destroyed). The tonal quality of the recording was rather harsh and strident, and this is what has been heard in subsequent reissues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"body\"\u003eThe second Decca recording here was taped, and naturally later reissues have no clicks or crackles inherited from the original masters. However, the sound quality remains very similar, in a quite overbearing tonal imbalance which quickly becomes tiring on the ear. It seems Decca were yet to really hit their stride in the production of what was to become a famously high quality series of recordings through the 1950s and onward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"body\"\u003eThe final recording was far more assured. Although recorded just a few months later, in early 1951, the engineers in Philadelphia clearly knew what they were doing. Tonal balance was excellent, with perhaps just a little boxiness in the lower midrange, and slight roll-off at the top. Unlike the previous two recordings, comparisons of our transfer with the currently available Sony reissue CD will reveal a close sound match - the XR remastering here has opened the sound out slightly, though Sony's master tape was clearly in good condition, allowing for very slightly lower background noise levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"body\"\u003eBy contrast, the effect of XR remastering on the earlier two recordings is remarkable, transforming both from rather difficult-to-enjoy vintage recordings to something far more realistic and delightful on the ear. None of the contrasts discussed here with reference to original and previous reissues are now apparent, and all three recordings now have similar sonic characteristics, characterised by a truly life-like high-fidelity tonal balance.\u003c\/p\u003e578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_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_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"bodybigblue\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMOZART \u003c\/b\u003eSymphony No 35 in D, K385, 'Haffner'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLondon Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Eduard van Beinum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bodysmallarial\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Recorded 1st May, 1950, Kingsway Hall, London, first issued as Decca LXT2534\u003cbr\u003e Reissued as Ace of Clubs ACL66 - transferred from this disc, matrix ARL 4526-1A\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"bodybigblue\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMOZART \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bodybigblue\"\u003eSymphony No 40 in G minor, K550\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLondon Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Erich Kleiber\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan class=\"bodymidarial\"\u003eRecorded 25th April 1949, Kingsway Hall, London, first issued as Decca 78s X448-50, matrices 13455-60\u003cbr\u003e Reissued as Ace of Clubs ACL66 - transferred from this disc, matrix ARL 4524-2A\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"bodybigblue\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMOZART \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bodybigblue\"\u003ePiano Concerto No 20 in D minor, K466\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRudolf Serkin, piano\u003cbr\u003e Philadelphia Orchestra, conducted by Eugene Ormandy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan class=\"bodysmallarial\"\u003eRecorded 11th February 1951, Philadelphia,.
