[78-L] Rite of Spring

[Robert Shirer]

Hi all, 
I want to add my thanks to Ron.  I've missed all of this.

Got one of those nice calls last week from a collector cleaning house:  "Come look at the 78s before I throw them out."  There were many nice vocal and operatic records, and some nice classical sets, many of which I already had.  The gem for me was Columbia Masterworks 129, with Stravinsky conducting a "Symphony Orchestra" in the Rite of Spring.  The matrices are LX 1027 and onward.  It is old style blue label, imported recording, and the set itself looks like late twenties or so. I'd be grateful for any further information about when and where and with what orchestra it was recorded.  The discs are practically mint, and the sound is very fine.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Bob Shirer
