thanks

Not absolutely top class, Mike. It's a little dated and the soloist is quite close miked but still very acceptable. It's one of those recordings that once you get involved in the music, the ear adjusts.

I wanted to wait for an opportunity to compare the Campoli Mendelssohn /Bruch coupling in the 10CD Milestones box with an earlier IMP reissue of the Decca original. To my mind the IMP is much superior, especially regarding Campoli's tone. The Milestones issue demonstrates a very whiskery top, verging on the shrill. The IMP sound, though not perfect, seems to me superior in all respects including the orchestral imaging.
I rather suspect that similar mastering faults occur in other CDs in the Milestones box, in the Saint-Saens Introduction and Allegro for instance where Campoli is far too prominent in the mono mix, too strident for comfort. Nevertheless it's very nice to hear the Bach Partita and the Handel sonatas, non HIPP I know but very enjoyable just the same.

Originally posted by pastoralguy View PostI listened to a couple of the 'Milestone' box set last night. Starting with the Elgar concerto, I had to turn it off half way through the first movement. The sound quality is, imho, pretty poor. Whilst I welcome any addition to the Campoli discography the sound reproduction is not good and it's a pity the transfers couldn't have been made with more care.
