Background -
Out Of Print! Last Chance!One of our favorite LP record labels is King Super Analogue. These records were mastered from the original master tapes made by the famous Decca / London recording teams. Typically they are superb in terms of the mastering, packaging, quiet vinyl and sound. Of course, you can’t expect all their products to be outstanding so yes, there were a few titles that were less than superb. The LPs (to our ears) tended to be a little darker than their classical originals on Decca and London, which was a good thing actually, since the sometimes shrill or over bright sound was gone. For those who don’t know, the company issued primarily classical music titles, but they also did some rare jazz oriented LPs as well.
This is an "Original Analogue Recording / The Super Analogue Disc" series produced by the Cisco / King Record Co. Ltd. The records are 1/2 speed mastered directly from the master analog tapes. All releases are on slabs of silent 180-grams of vinyl. All Japan and US production LPs had an OBI. US production was done at RTI - Record Technology Incorporated. Cisco took over the distribution and manufacturing of these titles in 1992 - from this point in time they were mastered in Japan and pressed at RTI in the USA. Previous to this they were mastered and pressed in Japan.
Karl Bohm conducting the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra performing Bruckner's Symphony No. 3. Recorded on September 21-23, 1970 at Sofiensaal, Vienna, Austria.
Karl Böhm was one of the greatest conductors of the twentieth century in the German tradition. He studied music as a child and continued to work and study in music while serving in the Austrian Army during World War I -- and while completing a doctorate in law. He coached singers at the Graz Opera and was permitted to conduct a performance of Nessler's Der Trompeter von Sackingen. He never had conducting lessons, but made close studies of the work of both Bruno Walter and Carl Muck.
In 1921 he was hired by the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, and then he became Generalmusikdirektor in both Darmstadt (1927) and Hamburg (1931-1933). He gained a reputation for his fine performances of Mozart, Wagner, and Richard Strauss, as well as his championing of modern German music, including operas by Krenek and Berg. Böhm debuted in Vienna in 1933, leading Wagner's Tristan und Isolde. In 1934 he became director of the Dresden State Opera, Richard Strauss's favorite theater. There, Böhm conducted premieres of Strauss's Die schweigsame Frau (1935) and Dafne (1938). He remained at the helm in Dresden through 1943, at which point he became director of the Vienna State Opera (1943-1945). Richard Strauss was not in official favor, and Joseph Goebbels banned any recognition of the great composer's 80th birthday in 1944. However, Böhm participated in a de facto observance, as a large number of Strauss's orchestral and operatic works "just happened" to be played about the time of the birthday.
After the war, Böhm was forbidden to perform until he underwent "de-Nazification," a procedure whereby prominent Austro-Germans were investigated for complicity in Nazi crimes. He was eventually cleared of any suspicion, and was permitted to resume work in 1947.
Böhm oversaw the German repertory at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires (1950-1953), and again served as director of the Vienna State Opera (1954-1956). He debuted in the USA at New York's Metropolitan Opera with Mozart's Don Giovanni in 1957, and took prominent German orchestras and opera companies on tour. The Vienna Philharmonic bestowed on him the title "Ehrendirigent," and he was proclaimed Generalmusikdirector of Austria. He left a legacy of many great recordings, including a complete Wagner Ring cycle considered by many critics to be the best. While his Wagner and Strauss were sumptuously Romantic, his Mozart was scrupulously Classical in approach. - Joseph Stevenson
