A great news!
Hänssler Classics published a new DVD of Carl Schuricht (Carl Schuricht, "Portrait", EUR 24,95).
It includes "Portrait", 4th movement of Haffner symphony, and Stravinsky's Firebird.

2 October
A breathtaking news!
As you know, there exist two recordings for Beethoven's 9th symphony with Orchestre de la Société des Concerts du Conservatoire recorded in 1958. One is monophonic and the other is stereophonic. The latter has been available only in Japan.
A Japanese, Hiro, found out that the 1st movement of each recording differs with each other. The difference is clear from the timing data [14:54 (MONO) and 15:44 (STEREO)]. Recording date is also different with each other [27-29, 31 May (MONO) and 4,5 March, 27-29, 31 May (STEREO)].
The situation is quite strange. Only the 1st movement is different and other movements are exactly the same performance except for sound quality!
This finding is triggered by a newly released STEREO CD from HMV Japan ( HMVC-7001).
If you have both recordings, why don't you try to notice the difference and send your impression to the webmaster!
