One of the greatest 'lost' musical talents of the 20th Century
Completing our series of Mewton-Wood recordings
Although we are lucky to have a handful of recordings which demonstrate the wonderful pianism of Noel Mewton-Wood, it is perhaps to be regretted that these are largely drawn from the LPs made by the Musical Masterpiece Society and its various offshoots. Often, particularly in the early days, rather poorly recorded, the company also kept costs down by simplifying cover designs and information (or lack of it) as well as cheaply pressing lightweight ten inch vinyl discs.
The fact that these two recordings also span the often 'difficult' years as new tape technology replaced established 78rpm disc-to-disc recording methods has created extra work for the modern restorer. Both recordings are lacking in the extreme top end, and the orchestral tone at the beginning of the Chopin leaves a great deal to be desired. Happily this is to a degree rectified as the work progresses, and would have been passable for 78rpm release. Both recordings suffer from a light amount of peak distortion, but this has generally been rendered as unobtrusive as possible. What does shine in both of these recordings is the superb piano playing and generally fine piano tone of Mewton-Wood, for which we can be most grateful!
