"I have collected many B Minor Masses, many much more finely recorded than the Scherchen. But none, for me, has ever touched the infinite the way his does..." - Bill Rosen
Restorer's Notes When Bill's LPs arrived it was with some trepidation that I began the restoration. Bill had generously offered to start a sponsorship scheme with a recording which is perhaps the most dear to him. I took the first LP out of its polythene sleeve, carefully cleaned it and placed it on the turntable, apprehensive of the six sides I had promised to work on. The stylus lowers gently onto the treasured vinyl and the opening Kyrie eleison begins. I am horrified. The sound is dreadful - as if the master tape had been thoroughly mangled, chewed and spat out by a particularly unruly tape machine (which I suspect it had). The prospect of two hours of this is terrifying. And then, after about 36 seconds, a silence - a pause - and the orchestra comes in perfectly, and I breathe a sigh of relief. Although the condition is to be revisited more mildly for a couple of seconds later in the same side, there is otherwise no repeat of it. It took me five days of work, on and off, to correct those opening few bars to the degree you can now hear. Had the entire recording been in a similar condition I'd either be working on it still, or more likely locked up! I decided therefore to make the full 15'50" of this opening available as our sample movement - I hope you'll enjoy it as much as both Bill and now I do. - Andrew Rose |
