Rostropovitsch, Berliner Philharmoniker, von Karajan

The Dvorak one of my favorites, have at least three other aok versions but saw this posted and have since wanted to get it.  Sonics are good but it’s a shame - this Deutsche Grammophon, 139044, has as much surface noise as I’ve ever heard.  Like my grandparent’s 78s.   Strange because this came from an oft relied on seller in England in an order of 5 other records that are all perfectly as new.  
I’ve heard there was a time that DG put out disappointing product.   This is a 1970 German reissue of a 1968 record.  Must try to remember to be cautions around this label.   If anyone can educate me about this please do.  I am hopelessly naive about record label reliability. 
Ghosthouse, I remember Notec. A little rough around the edges, but knew his Americana. I use to pay attention to his music choices. Just dropped off like so many do. I will check out Mr. Smith on his and your recommendation.
Music for Clarinet and Piano
Stanford, Ferguson, Finzi, Hurlstone
Thea King & Clifford Benson
Hyperion 1981

This is why I love analogue.
