Review of Edna Stern's Schubert on Tape
Posted by Des Hutchinson on February 3, 2022, 3:07 am
Thanks to Néstor Castiglione for exposing the absurd contradictions that apparently inhabit the beliefs of some musicians (and listeners) about recorded sound. Noting that Ms Stern's album is available, according to the linked vendors, in digital formats only, the inclusion of an analogue tape recorder into her recording chain will add nothing to the final result except that machine's inherent noise, distortion and compression. Transfer to vinyl would, of course, lead to further sonic degradation.
