    Ah, sixties classical recordings. This is from the days when there was actually some money in classical music and orchestras had exclusive recording contracts – so this is actually the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of London moonlighting under a pseudonym for a budget label. (At least here the conductor got credit – see here for how absurd this could get.)
