Alexander Brailowsky plays Chopin Fantaisie-Impromptu and Mazurka op. 7 no. 1

German 78 rpm record from 1929.
Grammophon. Die Stimme seines Herrn. Meisterklasse.
Alexander Brailowsky (1896-1976), piano.
0:00 - 95324B - Chopin, op. 66, Fantaisie-Impromptu C sharp major
4:46 - 95324A - Chopin, op. 7 no. 1, Mazurka B flat major

Transferred from the original 78 rpm record at 45 rpm with a standard USB turntable equipped with special needle. Postprocessing in Audacity (inverse RIAA equalisation, speeding up to 78 rpm, DC correction, 24 dB low pass filter above 8 kHz, 24 dB high pass filter below 20 Hz, auto click removal, mono conversion, Normalisation to -1 dB). I thus applied only a very moderate noise reduction to retain the original brilliant sound.
