Strauss, Mendelssohn - Mitropoulos

 

Here another long time out of print CD in a new rip. The mid-price "Virtuoso" label didn't have a long life, but in the late 1980s recovered several interesting unreleased historical recordings, even if more or less everything later reappeared in other reissues. These, in particular, are available also on two different Medici Masters CDs. Anyway, the source is enough good. As you'll see from the scans, it was the period when the durations of the tracks were sometimes not reported. This thing annoyed me a lot and I took care to mark them (ruining the booklets in a completely unnecessary way).
