Beethoven's last 3 Piano Sonatas No.30,31,32
11/29/23 at 16:08:32

I'm very happy to announce the UltraAnalogue Recordings release of a 2 tape set of Beethoven's last 3 Piano Sonatas, No.30,31,32 by Van Cliburn winner Vadym Kholodenko.
These are studio recordings made with our latest upgrades to the bypass caps in the microphone pre-amp. Together with our new WE300b playback amp for the Studer A80, the soundscape has reached new heights - listening to these is almost a spiritual experience...
Vadym is the ultimate poet on the piano IMHO.

I just received this review from David Denyer of the Reel to Reel Rambler on this 2 tape set of Beethoven's Last 3 Piano Sonatas....

I felt these are the most beautiful solo piano recordings I've ever made & it's due to Beethoven's incredible music & Vadym's performances which bring them to life. I was just the messenger to capture these for all the hear...

Listening to the 3 is almost a spiritual experience...

I'm glad David here actually says many things reviewers never really say...

Yes, tape only.
I'm sorry to say I've not seen really any download sales of my tapes, so I feel it's a wasted effort & besides, no format can sound like these tapes...

The magic is in the tape format. A download or LP will sound similar to the hundreds of LPs & downloads of this mainstream repertoire.

I was thinking of putting these out on vinyl, but it will lose it's magic in the transfer...

This is a bit off topic, but I just saw a post, on another forum, looking for the best Devil's Trill LP.... the answer came as a mono of Oistrakh....
It's a sad thing when everyone just chases these ghosts of yesteryears...
50-60 yrs from now, will people only want the players from the 1960's?? Sad state & hard for current violinists...
