Ernest Ansermet - The Royal Ballet Gala Performances / 2LP Analogue Productions

For a great many people, this recording is the number one RCA title. While the majority of the recordings were made with Ernest Ansermet and L'Orchestre de la Susise Romande, some also exist with the Orchestra

of the Paris Conservatoire and with the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, including the Royal Ballet Gala Performances. The online magazine Audiophilia writes of it, "This is the stuff dreams are made of.

" The Royal Ballet Gala Performances is one of the finest RCAs recorded at London's Kingsway Hall." Bernie Grundman handled the remastering for Analogue Productions. The double 33 1/3 rpm LP is issued in Stoughton

Printing's high-quality tip-on cover with 22-page accompanying booklet.

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
