For those of you interested in getting in on the ground floor, I was in Harvey
Sound in NYC (2 W 45th St) yesterday and saw a number of Telarc CD's for sale
(I don't know the price, however). The releases included most of Telarc's
catalog (which is (with the exception of the very early "Direct from Cleveland"
direct to disk recording) 100% digitally mastered). I would be very interested
in knowing (from anyone on the net) how these CD's sound, since Telarc uses
a minimal number of mikes, which should solve many of the problems reported with
some of the early CD's that came out.

Recently I purchased three of the Telarc CDs. They were: Stravinsky Right of Spring Stravinsky Firebird (1919 version) Beethoven Opus 73. In general I was very pleased with the quality of these recordings especially so in the case of the Opus 73. The Telarc approach produced superior imaging and very little evidence of mixing "editorializing". So far these are perhaps the best I have heard except perhaps for the Archiv Four Seasons and the DG Eine Kliene Nacht Musik. Bob Freund National Semiconductor ...menlo70!nsc!freund
