The recordings were made on 19 January 1934 at a rehearsal for later 
commercial recording at the EMI studios. There are 4 10-inch sides pressed by 
EMI on 12-inch vinyl for Symposium. The numbers were Symposium 1027 and 1028.

Notes to the issue says about reproduction on a normal stereo system: "A very 
beautiful sound will now be heard but emanating almost entirely from one 
speaker whilst that from the other channel is pinch3ed and swathed in heavy 
surface noise." Is that what is heard from the CD reissue?

pressings from original 78 rpm coarse groove masters featuring Fernando de 
Lucia ca. 1920. 

Kind regards,
