DAVIS RPO - VINYL ROSSINIOVERTURES [VINYL]

Popis - ROSSINIOVERTURES [VINYL]:
This is one of Sir Colin Davis's early recordings before his signing to Philips, made when he was establishing his name as a conductor and was Musical Director at Sadler's Wells Opera Company in London, having come to their notice by conducting successful performances of Don Giovanni at the Royal Festival Hall standing in for Klemperer when he fell ill and The Magic Flute at Glyndebourne standing in for Beecham when he was taken ill. Davis went on to be chief conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra in 1967 and in 1971 succeeded Sir Georg Solti as Music Director of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. He has since held posts with many international orchestras, including a ten year stint as chief conductor of the LSO in 1995. His repertoire is broad but he particularly associated with the music of Berlioz, Mozart and Sibelius. Recorded on 22 April, 18 June and 23 October 1961 at No.1 Studio, Abbey Road, London. Produced by the legendary Peter Andry and engineered by Edward Huntley. Cut at Abbey Road Studios from the original stereo analogue master tapes with the Neumann VMS82 lathe fed an analogue pre-cut signal from a specially adapted Studer A80 tape deck with additional advance playback head, making the cut a totally analogue process. Pressed on 180g vinyl to audiophile standards. Featuring the original album artwork. This recording is not otherwise generally available in any format.
