But there are examples which seemed to ruin the original recordings: I'm thinking of that 1963 Sviatoslav Richter Leipzig recital where he plays the last three Beethoven Sonatas. The performance of Op. 109 on the original issue was afflicted with a terrible flutter, which, as I say, ruined the whole experience of listening to the performance. But, lo and behold, a digital correction tool was developed to correct for the flutter, and the corrected digital version showed none of the original flutter problems - it was almost miraculous! (I think the correction tool was developed by Plangent, the same folks who developed the process to correct for timing errors on the original master tapes which can be heard in a few of the recent Thomas Fine headed hi-rez Mercury reissues - most notably the Paray recording of the Saint-Saens Organ Symphony, as well as the Mercury portion of the big Henryk Szeryng box which was released a couple of months ago.)
