Hello Samuel, thank you so so much for digitising this, putting it up on RUclips and your beautiful tribute in the comments to Mr Lim and this legacy of this particular recording. And thank you all the people who commented, adding to the historical memory. Mr Lim was my violin teacher in Australia from 1982 - late 1985. Soon after I started as his pupil, he gave me one of his copies of the record - it was brand new and he signed it for me. It was, and remains, one of my treasured possessions. I think he had a residual collection of those original pressings. I played it often from the age of 8, so I know it backwards; it’s a fantastic performance. The orchestral wind and brass is a bit funky but I love that too! If I make a digital recording, I will let you know! Best wishes, Danielle
Hello Danielle, I'm glad to see your comments! Being Mr Lim's former violin pupil, you are a special respondent. What makes you even more special is the possession of a signed record from him. Just a bit similar to you, I have the luck of being near him in 1974~1975. In the concert hall of City Hall, Hong Kong, my brother and I saw him play the solo violin of this concerto with the new professional Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. We also appreciated him conducting the orchestra in other concerts. One of his colleagues and good friend in Taiwan has compiled memoirs in Chinese (the meaning of its title being Beethoven on Yellow Earth: Lim Kek Tjiang Memoirs; yellow earth stands for China) for him. I have read it. Unfortunately, there is no translation in English. If you want to know more about your teacher (e.g. how he overcame various hardships), you may consult a Chinese friend who has read it. I guess you have been playing the violin in the last 40+ years, and are very very familiar with playing the solo part of this concerto. I look forward to hearing from you about your digital recording. Thank you! Samuel
Breathtaking to hear the voice of Mr Lim’s student here telling the life experience with him. Hope to hear them more and long for your digital recording some day. Love his sensational interpretation of music and connection with the original composers. Having read his memoirs in Chinese last year (recommended by the host of this clip @SamuelLo ), I appreciate his passions and discipline in music and the career, and more, the struggles of himself and the couple in the winding road of life. Remembering him ever with the musical heritage… 🙏😌

那些年有購買這張黑膠碟，現已不知所終。這些年聽的都是西崎崇子、Vanessa Mae 的演奏，但始終鍾情林克昌先生之演譯。感謝你把他帶回樂界。
我也非常懷念他的演繹，不用客氣。
林克昌先生固然是梁祝小提琴協奏曲演出的優秀者之一，記得中學時代，大概1966或者1967在香港大會堂音樂廳聽過香港管弦樂團協奏，劉元生先生擔任獨奏，那時的香港管弦樂團首席是鄭直沛先生，當時一定是以梁祝的原版本演奏，不明白為何後來劉元生先生卻把本曲改編成為較簡單的版本灌錄黑膠唱片發行！我亦在大會堂音樂劇聽過劉先生彈過韋尼奧夫斯基的第二小提琴協奏曲，不過無論如何劉先生肯定比林克昌先生更早灌錄梁祝！
劉元生先生曾為香港管弦樂團的董事局主席。
@@waihang-hay2232 謝謝資訊！關於劉元生先生的唱片，我在兩年多前也在下面提供過資料，是在1969年灌錄的，當時香港管弦樂團還未職業化，名為香港交響樂團。
學生時代(現已70+)聴過林克昌先生的版本, 念念不忘, 縱使現代好多享譽國際大師级, 國家級的演譯, 都好像不是味道.
年代久遠, 音質保持還好, 難得.
我也有一只留存着, 不過是卡式帶, 年代可能更久遠, 好像是橙色封面的, 北京交響樂團作品?
為什麽好像是? 因為放在書柜底多年已想不起, 突然看到這個, 高興便先留言, 有空去找出來可能已毁壞, 卡式帶放久會開裂.
Gordon兄：你那年少時聽過，至今念念不忘的情懷，大家都有共鳴！你有空就慢慢找回你的卡式帶吧，其實我這個錄音也是由原版二手卡式帶轉錄為mp3的，我在深水埗的二手影音店買到它，視訊第二張圖像右邊的便是它。
我仍保有那張33"黑膠唱片😊@@samuello5001
@@frankychan3948你還可以播放它嗎？
版主這封面是绝景绝配❤❤
@@frankychan3948 多謝讚賞！
順便一提，在林克昌先生這張唱片發行前，香港有兩次梁祝演奏紀錄：
1. 在1962.9.8，陳松安先生(小提琴老師)於大會堂小劇院以獨奏會(鋼琴伴奏)形式首演此曲。
2. 香港風行唱片公司在1969年發行了由劉元生先生獨奏，香港交響樂團伴奏(二者均為業餘演奏者)的唱片，唱片封套說明樂譜由指揮改編過。這張唱片後來獲轉錄為CD出售。
從以下網頁滑下去就可看到這兩個紀錄：

當年失去這張唱片，以為此後都聽唔到 ，多謝!
我家亦已失掉這張唱片，大部份渴望再聽的人都沒有想起它的卡式錄音帶。我就是因為不再有唱機，因此走到深水埗找二手錄音帶，終於買到了。
@@samuello5001 你真幸運、也是我們的幸運!😅
@@ELARA1123 不用客氣，我很開心可以和大家分享這個渴望已久的錄音。
順道一提：那業餘時代的音樂會由市政局主辦曰"普及音樂會"。門票是$1。
没想到能在RUclips听到完整版，多谢！
不用客氣，你喜歡聽就夠了，不妨將它儲存起來。
新增訂的說明詳盡，應有盡有，樓主就林氏此錄音博覽相關的文獻史料，可堪稱讚，添樂迷之福。
閱後遺憾的是，西崎崇子受其影響，其版本流行普及之後，再無見伯樂為林克昌的拉奏灌錄出版音效經改善的梁祝版本以傳世，實為一憾。😔 (若我所言有誤，往後如真的存在由林氏親自拉奏的更新梁祝協奏曲版本，歡迎指正)。若倒真的沒有的話，為什麼林氏沒有再為這打算過呢，是為一謎，今夜有感而發。
古殿樂藏殿主王信凱博士說這張唱片是林克昌先生唯一留下的梁祝錄音，而我也在Google和RUclips多次以他中文和英文姓名搜尋，都完全找不到他其他版本梁祝錄音。
你的疑問真的是個謎，更妙的是，他指揮名古屋愛樂樂團為西崎崇子伴奏，然後她聲名大噪；他樂於成全她，再沉醉於他的指揮藝術和事業，可能因為自八十年代起梁祝演奏人才相繼輩出，他志不在此，反而在指揮方面有更大雄心。
我多年前街邊雜嫁攤買到這張唱片，而且可能是頭版，即可能係傳說中1971年香港由Music City出版的。（後來1972年Music City授權日本哥倫比亞再版。）音質特別清晰，見諒，比樓主這個版本好得多。
我這個是錄音帶版本，一定比不上唱片版，唯一會好過陳年唱片的地方是它沒有噼啪噼啪雜音而已。我也知道有日本再版，網上有它的照片，謝謝！
你還有唱盤嗎？
我年少時首次接觸梁祝協奏曲就是靠聽家人購買的這張黑膠唱片，有沒有人也是這樣？
我則是從香港電台的古典音樂台第一次接觸這首協奏曲的，是七十年代初至中期吧，不知道當時電台播的版本是它不是，已無法肯定。
你這次上傳的善行，一眾樂迷包括本人都很感謝，你的確好有心! 為美好音樂的保育和承傳作了寶貴的貢獻! 非常好! 👍🏻👍🏻👏👏❤🙏
@@ngarthur1692 謝謝你！我固然是由於這張唱片在當年已對梁祝協奏曲有興趣，另一方面，我也因看了gloryman1211在8年前上傳的《絕版梁祝(林克昌指揮)》(長度只得4分多鐘)的啓發和留言者表達對全曲的渴望而有製作這影片的念頭。
@@samuello5001 結果你上傳了完整的版本，心到手到，不孚衆望，當日那些留言者都知道來欣賞就好了。你放上來，我反覆聽了四次，林克昌的演繹很有個性，溫柔處好蒼鬱婉約，雄渾激動處如抗婚等有力果斷，句句人性的控訴溢於言表，撼動人心! 相信這版本已升上了心中衆多梁祝版本的第一位了。
你廿三分鐘的補遺真殊不簡單！👏👏👏👏😊
@@ngarthur1692 你很欣賞林克昌的演繹，我也覺得他在代表祝英台的樂段奏活了她。網上有人說當年他指導過西崎崇子如何用小提琴仿效二胡、高胡常用的奏法。
我當時在樂城做salesman，送貨，收錢，這衹黑膠碟賣俾唱片公司俾貴絶全群，賣＄17,18蚊一隻俾唱片公司。
很高興從唱片櫃中找到這唱片,我還記下了購買日期：77年12月20日
@@watersze 真好！你還有唱盤可用來播放嗎？
你也令我勾起七丶八十年代常逛唱片舖的地方: 中環電車路遠東金融中心的閣樓EMI丶彌敦道新興唱片丶廟街一些窄身街舖(順便去錄選定的歌入cassette tapes)丶灣仔莊士敦道美亞唱片….
