Paul Kletzki conduz a Philharmonia Orchestra numa performance fantástica da suite sinfónica Scheherazade de Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov, gravada em Abril 12-14 de 1960, no estúdio No. 1 de Abbey Road em Londres, produzido pelo lendário Victor Olof com engenharia de Douglas Larter. Uma grande performance perfeitamente registada, remasterizada a partir das Master Tapes analógicas originais.

"Corte nos Estúdios Abbey Road a partir das Master Tapes Originais Analógicas num lathe Neumann VMS82 alimentado com um sinal prévio através de um deck Studer A80 especialmente modificado com uma cabeça de avanço especial, permitindo realizar um corte num processo completamente analógico. Prensagem realizada com as máquinas originais da EMI pela The Vinyl Factory em Hayes, Inglaterra."

"Records that are financial bargains are either reissues of somewhat old material that are admirably played but in faded recorded sound or new records by artists whose names hold out little promise of an exciting performance. But when you are offered a new record of Scheherazade, played by the Philharmonia Orchestra and conducted by a conductor, Kletzki, who is very likely to do this sort of thing well, then you can hope for a cheap record that is a bargain in the best sense of the word. And that is what this record is." So began the GRAMOPHONE review for what was in 1960 a new budget label designed to compete with the emergence of record clubs offering cheap records by mail order. Unlike Decca's Ace of Clubs, HMV Concert Classics offered mainstream repertoire, often newly recorded and in stereo.

In the original December 1960 review of the stereo release Thomas Hearns of the GRAMOPHONE summed up his comments above with:

“...a thoroughly good performance and very well recorded...”

Recorded on 12-14 April 1960 at No.1 Studio, Abbey Road, London.

Produced by the legendary Victor Olof and engineered by Douglas Larter.
