A TOTALLY DIFFERENT APPFOACH TO THE PROBLEMS OF RECORD WEAR

CLASSICAL Record Reviews

After two years of research and testing, a complex idea has emerged as the simplest record treatment of them all — and the most effective! A single 30-second applica tion will inet^ase trackability, lower distortion, reduce static, eliminate groove deterioration, and remain effec-tive without reapplication, for over 200 plays.

•    Leaves no surface residue

•    Requires no buffing

•    Costs only pennies per treatment

•    A complete care system

It’s the old story: In order to have access to an organ for the obbligato part in the score. the work was recorded in a Iarge church. the result being a long and per-sistent echo that seriously afflicts every-thing above mezzo forte and renders the pauses ambiguous. When will recording companies build decent organs into stu-dios. so that the glories of chorał sound can be heard free of the sonie blanket cast over it by rolling echoes? p.ili..

Mozart himself is partly to blame for the relative neglect and disparagement of his concerted works for flute. The complaint to his father(“You know that I am quite powerless when I am obliged to write for an instrument that I cannot bear”) has been taken far too seriously. It came in a moment of exasperation when he had been cheated out of fuli payment for the “easy” concertos and quartets commis-sioned by Dutch amateur flutist Willem van Dejong (“De Jean" or “De-champs”). And of course his pique wasn’t dulled when he was again de-frauded a few months later in Paris, this time of the Duc de Guines* promised fee
