[78-L] Question 1812 Overture

[David Lennick]

I've just spent half an hour checking all the shelves for the Lion LP and 
haven't turned it up, but it's in Schwann..L 40005. And it's Golovonov and the 
USSR State Orchestra. Both the 1812 Overture and Marche Slav have the 
substitute anthems, so there's another performance.
