Beethoven Op. 27 "Moonlight Sonata" - Wilhelm Backhaus (1958) FREE DOWNLOAD
Listen in high quality and download for free from www.objectivesounds.co.uk/vintage-recordings/beethoven-op27-1958/
Here's a quick video that I threw together for a restoration I just completed almost equally as quickly!
From what I can find on the web, this was recorded (or at least initially released) some time in 1958. As all 15 minutes are on both sides of a 7 inch disc, the sound quality does leave a fair amount to be desired, some unfortunate pitch problems and distortion, especially during the third movement. The loud parts at the beginning of the last movement have quite a barking sound to them. There is also the fact that it had to be cut at quite a low level, so as to avoid the groove excursion breaking into the adjacent grooves, which would have to be close to increase the playing time. This has resulted in a rather high level of surface noise (although some of it sounds like it originated from the master tape itself to my ears).
Nonetheless, it is quite an enjoyable performance from one of the great pianists of the 20th century.
I decided to go through my sorting folder yesterday, and found this transfer, and the corresponding photos taken of the cover and the turntable when making the transfer, that I had made in 2012. The sound was not particularly good, which is probably why I did not bother processing it five years ago. After a little tweaking, I managed to get a decent result, and to my knowledge, this is the best version of this recording on CZcams.

FDR Jones by Flanagan and Allen, the B side is 'If the Grey Haired Lady'. Decca F.7297. This is a digital restoration of a transfer I made a couple of years ago of a borrowed disc. There was a rather nasty resonance in this recording just before the HF cutoff but with a little equalisation it now sounds much better.

    Very clear reception. I am very disappointed at the forthcoming total demise of long-wave broadcasting. When I was a kid I got a Soviet building kit - a long-wave radio, which I used for almost forty years until my favorite long-wave station closed down. I could listen to the station throughout the whole Europe. It was my link with my homeland. Yes, nowadays we have the Internet, but it will never be the same.
