Unedited UCSB EDVR data has the Monteux as April 2, 1946. What we have
on this does not indicate location.

Can anyone date this recording for me? I'm presuming it was no later than 1952, the end of Monteux's 'reign' with this orchestra. I'd not heard this before, so it was a new Rimsky-Korsakoff experience for me. I'll also presume it was recorded at the War Memorial in San Francisco. I don't recall what year RCA Victor?stopped issuing 78rpm classical sets. I do have the Toscanini Grand Canyon Suite on both 78s & Lp, an example of issuing recordings in all the formats.
