EMI Callas Lisbon 1958 La Traviata AWFUL!!!
The performance is excellent, of course, but the transfer is one of the poorest that gramophone history has ever saw! The EMI release was made based on the tapes recorded via radio when the performance was broadcasted in 1958 by RDP (Radio Difusao Portuguesa - Portuguese Radio). The EXCELLENT news is that this brand new transfer of the EXACTLY same performance was made based not on those EMI tapes but by the master tapes owned by RDP (the original source, then). The difference is ABSOLUTELY HUGE! This new release made by "Pearl" using those tapes, sometimes makes you wonder if the performance was recorded in stereo or in mono! I have both releases, the "EMI" and the "Pearl". Despite the booklet included in EMI edition the Pearl Edition is far superior.
All in sum: the EMI sounds like a bad recording broadcasted in 1958. The "Pearl" edition sounds like you’re listening the original mono (almost stereo!) master tapes made in 1958!
I would like to say that this transfer and Re-equalization was not made by Pearl Engineers but by a engineer and opera scholar named Mike Richter. Shamefully, Pearl hasn’t credited Mr. Richter on the booklet but apparently he doesn’t seem to mind at all.
For more information about the transfer search on Google for "Callas recording update".
JUST BUY IT! Even if you already have the EMI edition!
I bought the EMI edition for the excellent booklet notes and substituted the CDs for this ones released by Pearl.
