Product Description
CD84023 Tristan und Isolde - Bayreuth 1963 (non-premium)
This performance was first shared in November 2006, and I have finally got around to listening to it in detail. There were quite a few problems with it, for instance the entire performance was more than a semi-tone sharp, both the bass and the treble had been augmented to the detriment of the middle frequencies, and each act had four or five short dropouts. I have repaired all these as much as I can, patching in the dropouts from the 1962 Bayreuth broadcast with pretty much the same cast. Since the original upload was 64k mono, I have left it at that bitrate. To my ears this is now much better than it was, so I thought I would post it. Tim

We sell only opera recordings. The recordings are sent to you in paper sleeves with no tray card or inserts, just the raw discs with printed labels. These recordings are of nonprofessional quality that are in the public domain. The quality of these old opera recordings is not very good and they are meant for collectors and educational purposes only. Most of them are 30 or 40 years old, so they might be blurry, colors faded, and not sound very good, but they might not be available elsewhere. Please note that most of our recordings do not have tracks, they have 1 long track per disc.
