GSC014DL (STEREO) - Rimsky-Korsakov: Russian Easter Overture; Moussorgsky; Polonaise from Boris Godounov; Borodin: Polovetsian Dances; Rimsky-Korsakov: Dance of the Buffoons; Glire: Russian Sailors Dance - Virtuoso Symphony of London/Arthur Winograd - In the summer of 1958, Audio Fidelity recorded 13 classical LPs in Londons Walthamstow Town Hall. The orchestra was the specially-formed Virtuoso Symphony of London, which consisted of top London orchestral players and instrumentalists. However, once these recording sessions were over, it was never heard of again. Six of the LPs were conducted by Alfred Wallenstein, who concentrated on the symphonic repertoire (Brahmss 4th Symphony, TchaikovskysPathetique, BerliozsSymphonie Fantastique and others) and six by Arthur Winograd (both conductors were ex-cellists) who recorded lighter fare, such as Operatic Marches, Popular Overtures, and this disc featured here. The LPs were expensively produced and retailed at a very high price but reviews of the time were divided between critics who found the stereo sound immensely vivid and others for whom it was over-modulated to the point of distortion. There is a tendency toward over-modulation in the loud passages, but the performances are top-notch, and a bargain at Garage Sale prices.
