Although I am still trying to locate ( having moved house recently) my diaries for 1999-2001 ( approx when those performances took place) I am quite certain that the symphonies were not recorded by Decca.
Although the 'sound' on the YouTube clips is absolutely ghastly - huge evidence of 'limiters' and 'boosters' I am very much hoping that the sound 'at source' was a lot better than that, ( recorded by German or Austrian radio?) and in fact I am currently trying to instigate negotiations with a major record company to track down the master tapes and release them on CD as a memorial to Chris Hogwood, if at all possible, as it does seem that the actual performances are very fine.
