Outstanding; mono just fine
Back in the day, classical performers did not hesitate to do things >their< way, and damn the torpedoes. Byron Janis, unsurprisingly, gives us an idiosyncratic, personal Waldstein. At times it's furiously, surprisingly powerful, even wild. But it always works. Something similar should also be said about his Opus 109, one of Beethoven's late masterworks. As for the sound, if there is an instrument that responds well to being recorded in mono, it's the piano. In fact at one time some top-flight British recording engineers insisted on recording solo piano in mono even where stereo equipment was available. And to hear this performance in HDTT's >DXD< mono! Even if you're a skeptic, I think you're in for a treat. The old technology never sounded this good.
