Re: [ARSCLIST] Rozsa Concerto for String Orchestra

[david gideon <david.rediscovery@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have those same discs. This sounds like an air-check or perhaps an  
in-house recording of a live concert. I know from somewhere that  
Rozsa himself is conducting, and it may have been a US premiere. I  
dubbed these to tape some time ago and found there were gaps during  
the side changes, which were filled satisfactorally by an old Vox  
recording of the work. Whoever made the Electro-Vox discs apparently  
had to use an additional disc to get the last minute or so of music,  
and having done so, then squeezed that last minute onto the end of  
the previous disc (you can hear the hit the sound quality takes at  
that spot). At least that's the way it was on my copy of the discs.

The Miklos Rozsa Society did make this recording available to its  
members at one time. You might get an answer to your question on  
their forum:
