 | No. 399 of the ongoing ITYWLTMT series of audio montages is this week's Friday Blog and Podcast. It can be found in our archives at https://archive.org/details/pcast399 |
=====================================================================
Our final
two Friday podcasts for 2022 (and conclusion to our long-running series) aren’t
as much about new material as they are feeding ongoing curation initiatives we
have undertaken for the past few years.
This
penultimate montage is part of our A La Carte series that repackages old
montages, in this case a 2019 odd-looking Vinyl’s Revenge post that we
more aptly titles “Tape Deck’s Revenge” as it featured two old London VIVA
cassette releases by Swiss conductor Ernest Ansermet. The VIVA series was a b
udget re-issue platform at a time where digital releases we beginning to invade
the shelves, often displacing these excellent recordings, which did merit
reissue. The format of these reissues was both cassette and vinyl, not CD.
The first
cassette on the original montage was packaging J.S Bach’s suites nos. 2 and 3
with a pair of filler tracks from his cantatas. Ansermet, at the time of the
original release, also issued a pair of albums of Bach Cantatas, which
London/Decca later packaged with this disk into a 2
CD Bach anthology by Ansermet.
The montage
inserts Cantata 130 between the original A and B sides of the VIVA cassette.
I think you
will (still) love this music too.
