This is not the way to do it. Very disappointing.
What seemed like a great way to get to know Horenstein's work / replace my LPs turned into an ever-increasing disappointment. Instead of getting hold of the original recordings, and transferring these with love and care, Profil has apparently just quickly transferred LPs, many of them of poor quality and with highly disturbing scratches, background noise and other damage, and shoved the result into a box without adequate documentation.
They have not licensing the quality Unicorn recordings Horenstein made ca. 1970 (I unfortunately missed the Scribendum 5 CD release). Instead we get poor transfers of a low quality radio recordings of Mahler's 1st and 3rd (and don't get the 6th).
This is a far call from what Decca, DG, RCA. Sony and Warner are doing with their artist collections. I will be steering clear of the Profil series, it's not worth the aggravation.
