“Difficult to believe that 45 years on from the death of Sir Thomas Beecham…previously unissued Beecham recordings continue to appear…Somm’s latest Beecham Collection release devoted to a November 1946 RPO concert given at Croydon’s Davis Theatre is something of a minor miracle...the warmth of string lines in Mendelssohn’s Midsummer Night’s Dream Overture, the eloquence of Wagner’s Meistersinger Act 3 Prelude and the drama of Mozart’s G minor Symphony…transcend their fragile sound-frame.” The Gramophone

(Recorded 1926-1940)

“Ancient recordings miraculously restored, full range, clear, sweet sounding and completely listenable. An absolute must for any lover of Wagner, Stokowski and recording science…from the first notes I heard I was astounded by the quality of these restorations. There is simply no significant surface noise, but also no artefacts of digital noise removal. Transparency is all but unbelievable. The overall quality is musical and listenable; as a result one can clearly appreciate Stokowski’s unique continuous string sound, orchestral balances, the string portamento in the early recordings, the clear percussion accents.” Paul Shoemaker (MusicWeb International)
