In the Thread: Tchaikovsky’s “Evgeny Onegin”
Post Subject: “Onegin”Broadcast disaster...Posted by Romy the Cat on: 12/4/2005
OK,
the Onegin’55 broadcast went through and was recorded. I asked Clark to figure out what they would be using as sources. He was not able to but he made me “happy” informing me that “the broadcast -- due to a temporary glitch -- will be compressed.” Well, whatever! What can we do!
In the realty the broadcast was even worst then I anticipated. First of all they did not run the opera from CD but from the MP3 file. The introduction and the comment were very inaccurate and the entire quality of translation was horrible. I pretty much shut everything down after I head the first diet, and went to watch the bottleful comedy “Racing Stripes” for 4773 times. A pelican quoting “The Godfather” was much more fan then Lemeshev squished into the MP3 noise.
Anyhow, for whoever cares here are few fragments from Onegin’55. The first one is from the original Melodia CD. When you hear hot burned it was I hope you wish that Russkies get themselves the reasonable AD converters and will not use in thier studios the garbage what they picked form a Chinese trash. The rest are western transfers but defiantly not from the original master tapes but from the crap the managed to obtained.
Anyhow, enjoy the Onegin’55

In the end a version of kinky a “Onegin”. The last file in the Onegin’s collection is the estimable Ivan Kozlovsky sings Lensky’s.
