"I've heard the Schuman and Barber works (the latter for only the second time in almost twenty-five years!). Even to my CD-jaded ears, the sound is very good. The quality in the Barber was particularly striking - if I hadn't known better, I would have thought it was an original commercially-produced CD. Obviously the source material for the Schuman wasn't as good, but I certainly enjoyed it (and I would rather have some tape hiss and clicks than obviously aggressively filtered sound). (I've located a perhaps-better stereo copy of it; we may have another go at it when I return from my summer jaunt.) Thanks for bringing these works back to my ears!"
