SXL 2285  TCHAIKOVSKY: SWAN LAKE Scenes    ANATOLE FISTOULARI / CONCERTGEBOUW ORCHESTRA AMSTERDAM

DECCA  UK 1961    ED1 WIDE BAND GROOVED    2E / 2E     NM / EX+ reverse of sleeve a little browned with age - see photograph

One of my 'Desert Island' discs, this must be one of Decca's most spectacular recordings.  Fistoulari's fiery and dramatic reading is graced by upfront, very immediate sound and the timpani in the Finale has to be heard to be believed!
