    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.
