Guido Cantelli was born in Novara - not so far from Milan and a little more from Turin - on April 27, 1920:
therefore exactly 100 years ago.
So, to remark this anniversary,
a series of little known and out of print CDs (mostly "freshly ripped", like this one)
will follow in the next couple of weeks...
and almost everyday!
With something special at the end.

Many thanks. May I ask the source of the performance? Any label or private source?Many thanks in advance.
Looking forward to these! Unfortunately, almost every one of my own AS-DISK CDs "bronzed" and were finally discarded, including the Cantellis you are going to upload. Best of luck with the new transfers! Maybe you lucked out and got VERY LATE disk copies, not the first run that I was burdened with.
In particular, I look forward to the Stravinsky. I discovered years ago that I could re-EQ the broadcast tapes and get them quite close in sound to some private direct off-FM copies that an east-coast USA collector owned. Off the AS-DISKs, the sound is a bit thin and lifeless but it CAN be improved, with great effort. Unfortuntely, when Music & Arts company reissued a huge Cantelli box, though they were using good source tapes for the most part, the sound was distinctly WORSE than the AS-DISKS; the Stravinskys were absolutely wretched as was Bolero. I've heard a 15 ips off-WNBC-FM tape of the original concert and it sounded SPECTACULAR! Nothing of this quality has appeared on the collector's market; but the tapes DO exist...somewhere! When we, and every other Cantelli lover has perished, they'll probably emerge...
