Notes and Editorial Reviews
The 78rpm recordings on this CD were made in 1934, apart from the Glazunov, which was made in 1927. The present transfers, by Mark Obert-Thorn, derive from original mint shellacs. Undubbed 'First Edition' pressings were used for Danse Orientale and the final side of Scheherazade. The minimum of noise reduction techniques have been applied so as not to affect the musical performances.
