[78-L] five favorite artists

[David Lennick]

I did a transfer for Allegro, but it was on their Opera d'Oro label (CDO 1003 
doesn't ring a bell). Results were not that great and we omitted Beecham's talk 
because otherwise it would have required 3 CDs. I thought Pearl issued the 1927 
version, omitting the Pastoral Symphony (which for some reason was on a 
separate disc and not in the 78 album). I've wanted to find the RCA version but 
never found it in Canada or at a reasonable price anywhere else. And I did the 
earlier Handel suites and arrangements for VAI Audio way back when (1993).\
