I've already announced this on June 29th, DK :-)
I will try to record it and to make a download available until the CD will be released.

I've merged the two threads. Thanks, Adriano.

Could I remind all posters to check whether a thread already exists so as to avoid repetition? Thanks.

Thanks, Alan.
Anyway, my broadcasting channel broke down totally after about 2 hrs, meaning that my recording will not be complete.
Not to speak about the fact that my internet Radio connection is full of interruptions since a long time already...
In the hot season I always have problems with TV and Digital Radio - and the problems with Internet Radio may be coming from the fact that since June they have opened the streets in my district, in order to replace all kind of pipes. The daily noise of machines and baggers drives me crazy, especially now that I am working on a complicated score and finishsing up the edit of my Fritz Brun documentary...
So perhaps somebody else has recorded this opera without disturbances.

Hadrianus, I have it complete but there's a glitch just over 17 minutes into the prologue. Is your recording of the prologue satisfactory? If so perhaps we can do a split upload.

The opera is CD unfriendly: the Prologue is 20 minutes, Act 1 is 69 minutes, Act 2 is 61 minutes and act 3 is 51 minutes.

The broadcast is available on demand on France musique at the previously posted link.

Cannot find this podcast, DK...

In any case, BerlinExpat: I have that glitch too, so it was a broadcast thing. I've tried to repair it, a note or two may be missing now, but it's better than nothing...

I have it from France Musique. Should I upload it ?
Title: Re: D'Indy's "Fervaal"
Post by: adriano on Friday 26 July 2019, 07:57
yes, please, jperdrix :-)
Suppose you have that glitch at 17:00 mintes in the Prelude too; my recording is also from France Musique.
But, as already mentioned, I repaired this one second's glitch in a way it should not affect too much the music.

I mean, I got it from the podcast. I didn't notice any glitch during the prologue. I'll edit it and upload the whole work.

How does this performance compare with the 2009 Berne performance already in our Downloads board, please?
Title: Re: D'Indy's "Fervaal"

It's been uploded. As a bonus, I've added the vocal score in d'Indy's reduction.

Thanks jdperdrix :-)
In other words, the podcast's Prelude is not defective. Which (luckily) means that it was a broacast interference.
