Re: [ARSCLIST] Blumlein broadcast today
It seems to me the Beecham experimental binaural recordings were issued commercially,or "privately" at one point,after his death.I would think the 1954 date given would be off,given that EMI was recording in stereo for eventual commercial release in the latter part of 1955 (Starker,the Von Karajan "Pictures",etc.)
There are actually some decent recordings done binaurally by RCA as far back as the mid to late 30s,where the left and right channels were recorded on separate discs,and played back on tandem turntables.The Ellington recordings were eventually released on a CD,in the 90s,or early 00's.Was Blumlein's work independent of this?RCA,and HMV were joined at the hip until early 1957 or so.
