Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra   conducted by  Antal Dorati 
PYE / Mercury  MRL 2002    1956 pressing - MG-50045  'YMG' matrices.   Recorded: 20 November 1954.    
(The end of 'Feste Romane' has tape (etc) congestion: have also slightly increased the volume)      
MMA 11095 - the 1960 EMI release (used by 'Mr Pristine') - has inherently quieter vinyl - but that Mercury transfer has far less dynamic-range.    
Sleeve-note  >>>   'Mr Pristine's' EMI transfer: 'sample mp3' (PASC194) - begins @ 5:27 on the Chiesa file >>>
