[78-L] Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau

[David Lennick]

Pressler probably recorded at 33rpm for transfer to 78. This was MGM's "Song of 
Love" album when they were unable to use the actual soundtrack  (a little 
problem with a guy named Rubinstein having played on it). Recordings were made 
in New York in 1947 and were among MGM's very first.

It's amazing to think that he was only in his early 20s when he made his 78s.  I wasn't aware of the Pressler 78s - would they have been cut direct to disc or would they have been taped first?
