请教：EMI的首个立体声古典录音及其年代 [复制链接]

楼上说的可能是试验性的立体声录音，但究竟那个是最早商业化的立体声录音呢？比彻姆的天方夜谈是1957年录音，56年他就录过立体声的《波罗维茨人之舞》了，看样子不是；是否是马尔科指挥爱乐乐团的普罗科菲耶夫《第7交响曲》呢？

找到答案：
EMI第一个立体声古典音乐录音：
普罗科菲耶夫：第1、5交响曲 马尔科指挥爱乐乐团 （1955.2）

“We can only guess at emotional punch which Koussevitzky might have packed in Prokofiev’s 7th Symphony (which he did not live to know) and we know what various other Russian conductors have done with it. Without any lack of power or vitality, the lasting impression of Malko’s performance is of an almost Mozartian classicism. Since any other approach will, by its nature, emphasise some elements at the expense of others it has to be said that, whatever the thrills and spills offered elsewhere, Malko makes us realise what a very fine symphony this is.
Although it was originally issued in mono, this was EMI’s first stereo recording. It had a longish catalogue life (coupled with the same composer’s 1st Symphony) and, since it still sounds well, it remains a pretty well ideal version for repeated listening.”

在最初的立体声录音和推出立体声唱片（也就是商业化）之间，往往有一段时间差。印象中EMI推出立体声唱片较晚，但立体声录音并不晚。
康太里有个弗兰克交响曲的录音，指挥NBC交响乐团，完成于1954年5月，出现在现在已经绝版的Artist Profile系列中，这个系列全是立体声录音，这样看来，EMI的首个立体声录音又推早了几个月。
