    Charles Mackerras à gravé une seconde version en stéréo quelques années plus tard ?

    1. Have his 3 other versions: HMV CSD1399 (1960/RPO) - CFP 40293 (1977/LPO) - Decca SXDL 7619 (1982/Philharmonia).
      I prefer this 1951/33SX1001 to the RPO version - but usually listen to the LPO (c/w "Lady & the Fool") - never listened to the SXDL!
      Had intended uploading this years back- also CFP 40268 - the 1961 Philharmonia: Gaite/Graduation Ball - which is excellent.

    1. Me alegra que te haya gustado esto; quizás a otros también les haya gustado, pero he desistido de esperar respuestas, lo que se refleja en la disminución en el número de nuevas publicaciones!

    1. For Masochistic's I could transfer the 1985 HMV Treasury of early recordings (from 1898....) - recently asked-for on SymphonyShare.
      Had intended the 1980 WRC Pirates/Sorcerer (1929/33) some years back (but didn't have the otherr 2 reissues: sound on 'Pirates' is remarkable)
      ... and should've done the WRC Alwyn/RPO ages back.
      All these had superb vinyl - which this one didn't (slightly 'used' with lots of cleaning needed).
      So should do at least 1 of the above - have added the sleeve-note of the Victorian/Edwardian horror-show here!
