----- the only problem I have with that is that OCR apparently knows a

OCR's sentence reads (in my translation):

Die Originalouvertüre h-moil [should be "moll"] bildet den Auftakt der 
vorliegenden Aufnahme, die nachkomponierte in D-dur macht den Beschluß.

"The original overture B Minor forms the introduction to the present 
recording, the later composed in D Major makes the decision"

Either this is poetic license in summing up the preceding booklet note 
paragraph, or the original translator of booklet notes has picked the wrong 
word; "Abschluß" would simply have meant "ending", and that makes perfect 
sense to my simple mind. Provided that is what is on the record.

Kind regards,


George
