Reviews :
"Twenty-five years after releasing the Grammy-nominated Arnold Overtures, Reference Recordings has reissued it as a 180-gram, half-speed-mastered LP, and what an LP it is. Paul Stubblebine, who mastered the original CD, returns to do the remastering for this fine reissue pressed at Quality Recoord Pressings... This re-release of Arnold Overtures is a gem and worth rebuying even if you own the music in another format. I've thoroughly enjoyed this recording and Sir Malcolm's enthusiastic interpretation of his own compositions." - Mark Blackmore, The Audio Beat, March 2018
Authoritative first recordings of important works composed and conducted by Sir Malcom Arnold (1921-2006), one of England's very greatest composers.
Half-speed mastering
In half-speed mastering, the whole process is slowed down to half of the original speed. A typical 33 1/3 rpm record is cut at 16 2/3 rpm. The source material is also slowed down (reducing the pitch in the process) meaning the final record will still sound normal when played back. Slowing the whole process down allows more time, which means the end result sounds better and is more efficient — allowing engineering to minimize the effects of inherent limitations within the vinyl format. The result is a more accurate and more open high-frequency response in the half speed vinyl when compared with a normal speed recording.
