In Reply to: sound quality on Kempe/ R.Strauss recordings... posted by BJordan on December 10, 2006 at 21:36:13:
I generally concur in that most EMI classical recordings around that time were rather "flat" (this also applies e.g. to the Karajan EMI recordings of the '70s: of course I am NOT referring to the much earlier HvK EMI recordings with the Philharmonia).For some reasons, the Staatskapelle Dresden was particularly plagued by that flatness in EMI recordings. Apart from later recordings with Sinopoli (mostly leave-or-take issues) the best recorded sound of the Staaskapelle (considered, and rightly so, never second to the Berliner) can be enjoyed on Berlin Classics or the related super-super-budget labels. For instance, Strauss' Metamorphosen under Suitner is (IMO) the very best rendition of that elusive masterpiece available on record, and the sound (dating from the '60s I guess) is still of demonstration quality.
