Ein Portrait - Lieder von Franz SchubertGérard Souzay, baritoneJacqueline Bonneau and Dalton Baldwin, pianoDecca/Telefunken 6.48119DT - 2 mono LPs [P] 1978Original recordings 1952, 1954LP rip: 96 kHz, 24 bit (see details below)FLAC files, scans Souzay is my favorite baritone, and his Decca recordings are definitely among my desert island discs.

The audio chain I use to rip LPs: (1) the LPs are cleaned using a VPI H!-16 record cleaning machine, using TTVJ Vinyl-Zyme Gold cleaning fluid, (2) ripped on a Nakamichi Dragon CT self-centering turntable with integral tonearm and Ortofon cartridge, (3) processed by a Korg DS-DAC-10R (RIAA setting), (4) then recorded and edited using AudioGate 4, Adobe Audition (and rarely iZotope RX) software.
