I've owned Artur Schnabel's Schubert recordings on various LP configurations in the past, have the excellent Arabesque CD featuring the Sonata in B flat and shorter works, all duplicated in this 5 CD box from Warner Classics. The 2018 transfer work is a tad (only a tad) better than Keith Hardwick's excellent work from 1987. It's nice to have Schnabel's recordings of the Impromptus again, in sound about as good as it's ever going to get - these CDs are remastered from the original 30 ips tapes from 1950, Schnabel's last recordings. Heard the Sonata in A major, D. 959, for the first time in many years again. An excellent performance of one of Schubert's little-known masterpieces. Will no doubt listen to the remaining three CDs tomorrow.
Fanfare was taken from Coplands Sym # 3. Check out the Symphony its very goodFirst I heard this was on CD. Still my favorite!
An item that showed up in audio salons for demos of bass and dynamics back in the late 1970s as an LP. One of those records that blew out speakers thanks to extreme dynamics in the bass register. Have owned the disc as both an LP and a SACD. Somehow the SACD sounded lackluster compared to my memories of the LP. Love the repertoire, recorded in 1978 using Soundstream's recorder capable of recording with a sample rate of 50 khz. I just checked out Ebay, they have a CD copy for $4.99.Frederick Fennell, The Cleveland Symphonic Winds / Holst: Suite No. 1 in E-Flat, Suite No. 2 in F / Handel: Music for the Royal Fireworks / Bach: Fantasia in G
I have the SACD and LP and prefer the LP. The digital version of "Frederick Fennell conducts the music of Leroy Anderson" is absolutely cracking in that format though. The joys of light music couldn't be any better represented.An item that showed up in audio salons for demos of bass and dynamics back in the late 1970s as an LP.

Thank you! I just found it on Tidal and will keep my eyes peeled for the LP. Great stuff!If you're a fan of music for wind band this album is, I believe, even more dynamic than the Fennell/Cleveland. It was also an audiophile demo darling not that long ago. One of my favorites.
