[78-L] Acoustic BSO recordings

[Rodger Holtin]

Hmmm...  I missed the first post, and can't find it in my inbox or spam.  

Anyway, the 75 Anniversary album of the BSO from 1955 features a clip from the librarian recalling the session and he said "the first desk men sat on high stools and played directly into horns of their own."  I'd love to see pictures of that.  I'll bet they exist somewhere.

I posted an item a few days ago and although nobody commented on it, I noticed that it contained a misleading statement that I thought I should clarify.  I said that when they recorded the BSO, they used 12 horns.  This could easily be read as 12 French Horns in the orchestra;  in fact, what I meant was 12 recording horns, so they were obviously into multi-horning.
