Hi AI,

That boxset whose photo I posted yesterday is available in EMI's "Great Recordings of the Century" series.

http://www.emiclassics.com/phpNewSite/artists/artists_details.php?id=54

I don't know whether its highlight edition (the green one) is still something you can get from shops in HK.

As you can see, the Haitink version mentioned by Shamus is also found in this EMI catalogue.

[#5827] EMI old and new    
Hi AI,

My A/B comparison of EMI's reissued CDs (like those in the "Great Recordings of the Century" series) informs me that in terms of sound quality they are not inferior to their "made in W.Germany" conterparts released in the late 1980s. I am afraid in a blind-test there is strong likelihood that I would prefer some the re-issues. But since you said you are a collector of old EMI CDs, sound elements may not be your paramount concern. I can only hope that you keep cool and don't allow secondhand CD dealers to smell your blood too often.

The following info and photo I posted on 23 June last year may interest you.

i have just buy a original Germany version of Last Four Songs by Elisabeth Schwarzkopf(made in 198x) and compare to the re-issued version bought before.

The original is much better, my wife has the same feeling as me.

Trollope,

Listening Classical Music with our HIFI (that we have) will be much more enjoyable than listening HIFI with Classical Music!!

[#5836] Seraphim from EMI    
說起 EMI 的 CD,叫人又愛又恨。有一個叫 Seraphim 的系列,蒐集了不少精彩的錄音,以中價發售。可恨 EMI 以快刀 delete 自己的產品馳名,不少 Seraphim 的精品如曇花,在市面只稍現,例如 Dame Moura Lympany 的兩輯 "Best-loved Piano Classics"(大約是 1988年的錄音),又例如這一套雙碟裝:

Mozart: Piano Concertos Nos. 20*, 21, 22, & 23*
Annie Fischer / Philharmonia Orchestra / Wolfgang Sawallisch / Sir Adrian Boult* [1959-1960]
EMI (Seraphim) 7243 3 68529 2 1: ADD 1995 (2 CDs)

尚幸近年的 Encore 系列以廉價版重新推出不少錄音,只是要知音者苦候而已。

Seraphim 之名,取自舊約聖經中對天使的一種叫法,據說其形似蛇,等閒惹不起。

Handel 的 "Samson" 中有一首名曲 "Let the Bright Seraphim",1981年 Prince Charles 和 Lady Diana Spencer 在西敏寺舉行婚禮,儀式中由一位女高音唱出此曲,令此曲和此名廣為人知。

翌年那位女高音晉爵為 Dame Commander of the British Empire,她是誰?

Personally I think, compared to Decca, which rarely goofed and made a smooth transition into the digital age, EMI had made MANY bad CDsin the past. Most of the "STUDIO" series that I have have pretty crappy sound.

My own feeling is closer to trollope's. Most of the time I'd prefer the new issues. I regard the ENCORE series as very good sounding.
