As for speed Historic Masters only give only following recommendation, as the different experts, as it is normally the case, did not agree. The group of recordings from 3000 to 3008 play best at around 76/77; the group from 3009 to 3013 at around 73/4; the group from 3019 to 3028 at around 76/77. In the absence of consensus it is not possible to give a clear recommendation for the group between 3014 and 3018 and the very last record 3028. One school of thought prefers the lower speed of 73/4 whilst the other opts for 77/8. Historic Masters suggest playing the records at the speed which you think is most appropriate! Thanks to Historic Masters, there is no need to buy any Tamagno original records. They will never match the vinyl pressings in terms of vividness. The Tamagno project is a great achievement of Historic Masters.
