Re: [ARSCLIST] Menuhin in Japan

[David Lennick <dlennick@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorta the same but not..I don't have the Spring Sonata, Bach Partita, Sonata #1 
in G (whose?). I wonder if there are more than 11? These were given (or loaned 
and not returned?) by Yehudi to a record producer and I got them from his son. 
Lovely shape, near mint, all laminated, but the album is a standard generic 
12-pocket storage album.

In the same batch (and headed for the trash heap!) I found Tippett's Concerto 
for Double String Orchestra, privately recorded by an orchestra conducted by 
Walter Goehr. Here's a story about it..don't know what the reviewer was talking 
about, these have some of the quietest surfaces I've ever encountered on 
English 78s. Same material as was used for BBC transcriptions, I think.
