I have this on both vinyl and CD, but I'll be downloading it to compare the quality. Since the master tapes are lost, the CD was mastered from rather noisy vinyl, and I'm curious to compare its sound with this one. <BR/><BR/>I think this recording is most closely linked to the later album Arminius, which featured Ferdinand and Vladimir Vaclavek on basses and Takumi Fukushima and Helmut Bieler-Wendt on violins, and was based around texts concerning the Roman defeat in what's now Germany in 9 AD.<BR/><BR/>gidouilleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262584283674109553.post-81651738406145603682009-03-07T13:17:00.000-08:002009-03-07T13:17:00.000-08:00This looks great, thanks!This looks great, thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
