Remastered and Reupped, Vol. 1

As time goes by, I've become much better at mastering the recordings I present here. I have been revisiting a number of my earlier transfers with an ear on improving the sonics, and will be presenting the results here from time to time.

Here is the first batch - the links, as always, are in the comments to this post. You can learn more about the LPs themselves by investigating my original posts via the keyword links at right. The new links can be found in the original posts as well.

Let me stress that in all cases, the sound is far superior to the original post.

Alfven - Swedish Rhapsodies 1, 3; Festival Music (early stereo recordings conducted by the composer and Stig Westerberg)

Brahms - Piano Quartet No. 1 (New York Quartet)

Brahms - Violin Concerto (Ida Haendel; LSO - Celibidache)

Copland - Red Pony; Thomson - Acadian Songs and Dances (Little Orchestra Society/Thomas Scherman)

Ellis Larkins - Blues in the Night (a little noisy, but superb playing)

I Love Melvin (soundtrack with Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor)

Louis Alter - Album of Manhattan (Paul Whiteman Concert Orchestra)

Miguelito Valdes - Bim Bam Boom

Morris Stoloff - Music from Movieland
