Re-pitched COSÌ FAN TUTTE Güden, Ludwig, Sciutti, Kmentt, Berry, Dönch - Böhm - Vienna 2IV66

Описание: This charming performance with an ideal Viennese cast has been on my to-do list for a long time. It was a particularly challenging puzzle. The main source material was the operadepot release, which itself was cobbled together from various sources and countless segements, all wildly varying in pitch. Concert pitch in this release varied from a= 428 to a=454. Correct would have been a=447 Hz.
The quality was mostly quite decent, but sadly the duet Dorabella / Guglielmo has severe tape-bleeding: you can clearly hear a man and a woman talking with a British accent in the background. I hope I'll eventually find a better source for that short segement.

The sceenshots of the 50 Hz mains hum of both the operadepot-release and my own edit show how inconsistent the source material was to begin with,

Luckily I had major chunks of a radio master-tape copy in perfect quality and I integrated them into my edit.
