I have finished and posted on Klassic Haus Restorations this CD transfer of the perennial choral favorite, John Stainer’s “The Crucifixion”, from the classic 1961 EMI/Angel recording, the first professional taping of the piece. This recording has been used as a teaching tool for decades; I first heard it in high school back in the […]
I have posted three more CDs on Klassic Haus Restorations, the fruit of my labors from the end of February. March is turning out to be a busy month for me, as well; I have more travel coming up, as well as continuing projects for Klassic Haus. I’m hoping things will settle down for a […]
These CD is a transfer of a mono LP (Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring”) and a selection of Russian concert favorites in stereo, both Capitol LPs I found during last year’s trip to Denver, CO (still working through that stack!) The following are the comments I posted on Klassic Haus Restorations: KHCD-2011-026 (MONO/STEREO) – Stravinsky: The […]
I’m back from travelling to Kansas City, KS, and have been tryng to get back “in the groove” with new releases. I am posting two more CD transfers, this one devoted to Karl Ristenpart’s second recording of Bach’s “Die Kunst der Fuge” BWV 1080 (The Art of The Fugue). The following are the comments I […]
February has been a busy travel month for me, so I haven’t posted as many new CDs on Klassic Haus Restorations as I have in past months. The ones I have managed to post, though are of great interest; the most recent being this recording with the great Karl Ristenpart conducting 2 Bach cantatas, one (BWV […]
I have just posted three new CDs on Klassic Haus Restorations. I had plenty of spare time to work on them this week – we were snowed in here in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma by the Blizzard of 2011. Quite a spectacle for South-Central folk; the snow hit late Monday night and stopped around 3 PM Tuesday. […]
I have just finished posting Vols. 1-5 of the English Cathedral Choir Series on Klassic Haus Restorations that I worked on this month. These CDs are transcriptions of LPs from the extraordinary series the Argo label published in the early to mid-60s, featuring English cathedral and chapel choirs performing mostly English repertoire. These 5 CDs cover […]

These CDs had been released on Klassic Haus Restorations several week ago, but I am just now getting around to post comments. The Vaughan Williams CD, with Eugene Goossens conducting the Cincinnati Symphony in “A London Symphony” from a 1941 RCA 78 set I originally transcribed in 1978, has garnered praise from one customer: “The […]
