Reiner, the test of provenance is the hiatus between the final movement of the 4th, and "October". What do you hear at this point?  |

I can't say the 4th was one of the first I scurried to in the box, Bryn  I'll have a listen and let you know! |

Reiner, just skip forward to "October", then wind back to the last few seconds of the 4th, then listen to the pause between the tracks. |

There's a loudish "phut" noise. Is that it?

The phrase... within the handsome box makes me wonder if this is the same box as the recent Melodiya one which appeared in the UK last year. Those who've bought it have commented on its flimsy quality... |

Yes, they have repackaged it and done away with the box who cannot be opened unless you have an A Level degree in rubrik's cube and it now has cute Dimitry specs on the cover |

That's the one It has a series number MEL CD 10 0165. It's not a plastic box, it's entirely unglazed card, designed quite neatly and with the specs Antheil mentioned as the only artwork on the front cover. But was I right with my "phut!", Bryn? (an agonised cd-purchaser languishes in uncertainty) |

There should have been a league table showing how long it took each poster to get into it...I was puzzling for ages, anxious not to break it, before I realised the tab at the side was magnetic!! |

Reiner, I think you will find they have added Stephan Razin and something else.
However, it is wonderful, the No. 4 will blow you away, you will have heard nothing like this I think.

That's it, Reiner. It looks strange too:  It last about 5 milliseconds. As mentioned at TOP, I ripped the tracks from that CD, edited out the glitch and added 10 seconds of extra silence between the end of the 4th and the start of "October" before burning to a 'back-up' CD-R. |

Oh, and in case anyone was wondering, that is indeed the trace of the "phut", and not a page from Cardew's "Treatise". |

An interesting DVD release of a DSCH4 from the Proms in 1978 under Rozhdestvensky here. |

An interesting DVD release of a DSCH4 from the Proms in 1978 under Rozhdestvensky here. It arrived in the post today. Good picture and sound, but why mono? Sure, mono would have been used in the original television recording, but what about the Radio 3 version? Is the stereo recording of that no longer extant? It would not have been too difficult to sync that with the video, surely? |
