Unless the Germans tried to airbrush-out the noises, which would explain the patches of fluctuating volume, but no, I've had reel to reels and it sounds like a few patches of crunchy tape.
In any case, great set. I'm a bit OD'd on the Improptus any, and it's not as if there aren't other good performances of the Scherzi.
Leaving the obsessiveness behind, I listened to the Nocturnes last night accompanied with the pitter patter of gentle rain outside. It was very Windham Hill.
And once again, that slow mov't to the 3rd Sonata! I dare say that its air of intimacy rivals that of the Hammerklavier's.
