Notes: Since I don’t have a Stereo Half-Track, Reel-to-Reel player that can play at 3.75 IPS, I digitized this recording at double the playback speed, 7.5IPS, with a sample rate of 192kHz. This allowed me to downsample it to 96k for an archival copy that preserved the original pitch. There was also some minor editing done to this recording. I removed a persistent, high-pitched, machine noise (likely caused at the time of the original recording) that descended from about 9.5kHz at the beginning of the recording and ended around 8.5kHz. I was able to accomplish this by using Audacity’s spectral edit multi tool.
Additionally, this is the only full recording I have of this performance. REEL-023 and REEL-031 only contain the 2nd half of this performance, and while they have a higher playback speed, they exclude the Overture on Hebrew Themes.
