I have received a reply from Regis who inform me that the pitch has been corrected, and to Russian concert pitch which is slightly sharper than Western concert pitch.
I read in Gramophone magazine a while ago the reviewer of the Regis CD stating it was a recording of a different concert, owing to the slightly longer performance times. Well, longer duration is a consequence of reducing pitch with a tape that was originally played at too fast speed for the initial Philips CD mastering, thus I am confident that Regis have informed correctly.
I am surprized the reviewer didn't notice whatever extraneous noises are common to both recordings !
Really, I wonder how thorough some reviewers are ..?.. it is good we have theses discussion forums to sort these things out in !
