Description
This is a very nice stereo copy of Wagner’s Die Walkure with the Vienna Philharmonic conducted by Georg Solti on 5 180g LPs as released by Super Analogue Disc and sold through Cisco Music (catalogue KIJC 9180/9184). The LPs are in excellent condition with no scratches or scuffs. The disks are remastered from the original analogue tapes. I believe that they were pressed by RTI in California. I originally cleaned the LPs with a VPI record cleaner and treated them with LAST record preservative before playing them. More recently, the records have been demagnetized and cleaned again with an Audio Desk ultra-sonic record cleaner. I have played the set through and found it to be mostly quiet with very little surface noise. As the original set went quickly out of print, I purchased the set new directly from Robert Pincus at Cisco Music. The records are enclosed in an outer red box with the “The Super Analogue Disc” printed in gold on the cover. Cisco no longer had the set with the original cover and libretto and only had this one left. The individual records are enclosed in plain white jackets within the red box. There is no libretto. This is probably the best pressing of this recording that I have heard. I believe it was issued in the late 1990s.
The cast is as follows:
Die Walkure (5 LPs): James King (Siegmund), Regine Crespin (Sieglinde), Gottlob Frick (Hunding), Hans Hotter (Wotan), Birgit Nilsson (Brunnhilde), Christa Ludwig (Fricka), Brigitte Fassbaender (Waltraute), Berit Lindholm (Helmwige), Helga Dernesch (Ortlinde), Vera Schlosser (Gerhilde), Helen Watts (Schwertleite), Vera Little (Siegrune), Claudia Hellmann (Rossweisse), and Marilyn Tyler (Grimgerde).
Multiple records can be combined in an order to save shipping costs.
