Thx and I already got some of your releases but I was looking for more classical stuff like this release.
I prefer classical music over jazz and the avax audiophile section has a tendency to present more high quality jazz releases than classical.
So I was thinking in an economical way too.
But whatever you got, give it to us.

Cool sound , classical music given the warm vinyl jazzy treatment :)

Looking forward to listening to this. And thanks for the flacs. Your Art Pepper transfer sounds fantastic. Will be looking forward to more of your HQ needledrops. I love classical and jazz... maybe jazz a little more.

Thanks for sharing this is one of the most dynamic-sounding RCA concerto recordings

Great! I was hoping for a classical record in 24/96, and here it is. I'm curious. It's difficult to record well, orchestral music.

This is great, but the files are huge - over 3 times larger than normal. As you note, they were ripped at 96,000HZ and 32-bit float. Compare this to the Red Book standard for CDs (44,100Hz and 16-bit PCM). This is overkill; IMHO human beings can't hear the difference. And when I change the FLAC to WAV, the Totendanz alone (only 15m:25s) is 786MB! - to large to fit on an entire CD.

Thanks a lot dimsal for this great quality vinyl rip.
The correct track listing is:

1. Franz Liszt - Totentanz
2. Sergei Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto No. 1 - First Movement - Vivace
3. Sergei Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto No. 1 - Second Movement - Andante cantabile
4. Sergei Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto No. 1 - Third Movement - Allegro vivace

..and the concert is recorded in 1957.

Thanks for the quality rip :)

Any chance of File Factory links?

RS is unfriendly to those of us in Ireland :(

Thanks either way...

Great choice of records!

@billinrio

You're wrong about being able to hear the difference... these DVDa quality rips sound a LOT better than their RB counterparts...

For some reason these specific files (based on having downloaded tons of AVAX files) are in ZIP not . rar and are missing the usual app tag at the end... these files all have a number instead. UNRAR won't recognize these files. Can't remove the number cas then all the files will be the same name. Renumbering each file manually won't unpack via unrar MAC via 10.6. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Can't wait to hear this rip.

Good work DISMAL.

If you have any other vinyl rips I'm searching hard for the classic RCA LSC Golden Dogs and Mercury Records @24bit/192Hkz.

use 7zip to open

The correct tittle is not Liszt Todtentanz (Dance of Death) but Liszt Totentanz (Slovak Dance) because Liszt was a composer of Slovak origin.

Posted By: sneffels Date: 07 Mar 2011 02:55:48

Splendid rip! Thanks for sharing this amazing performance! Byron Janis is a much undervalued pianist.

As to the title Totentanz, the "dance of death" was a fashionable trope in Liszt's time; recall the St-Saens Danse Macabre, or the last movement of the Symphonie Fantastique. Most of these "dances of death" used the tune of the Gregorian chant, Dies Irae ("day of wrath") from the Requiem Mass. Liszt's Totentanz is a set of variations on the Dies Irae (like St-Saens' and Berlioz'). Liszt's Totentanz certainly is a Dance Of Death. The variant spellings Totentanz and Todtentanz are also common in the 19th century; both are German for "dance of death." And Liszt wasn't Slovak but German-Hungarian, born in the Kingdom of Hungary of a German mother and Hungarian father.

The Wikipedia article on "totentanz" has some excellent detail and sources.

can't extract archive, tried *everything*
UPDATE: Betterzip (mac) did it. Recognized as RAR, though.
