[78-L] Khachaturian

[David Lennick]

I meant difficult to track with most cartridges, not difficult to track 
down..I've seen it quite a few times on Angel's early English pressings. The 
original on English Columbia probably is difficult to find, as it was a 
ten-incher containing only Gayaneh, and a companion disc containing the 3 
movements (only the 3 he recorded) from Masquerade plus "In Memoriam". CC 1041 
and CC 1043 (wonder what was on CC 1042?). The 12-inch Angel gave us only the 
Gayaneh and Masquerade Suites..there was room for the other piece, dammit.

And yes the Decca/London is better anyway, with the Vienna Philharmonic.
