[78-L] Five favorite 78 artists

[David Lennick]

I did the Weingartner Brahms Symphonies on Living Era. Sounded wonderful, in my 
opinion. Unfortunately, the label folded about a year later (corporate 
machinations when Sanctuary was purchased by Universal, which didn't want a 
"pirate" label on its roster, Sanctuary much). If anyone wants to reissue them, 
contact me.
