RCA Living Stereo - the gold standard for top quality orchestral performance and sound!
In the hearts of thousands, No. 1 on the Top RCA list
While the bulk of Ansermet's recordings were made with L'Orchestre de la Susise Romande, there were a few with the Paris Conservatoire Orchestra and the very occasional foray into recordings with London orchestras, one of these being with the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, in 1959
Audiophilia Online Magazine wrote: "This is the stuff of which dreams are made
The Royal Ballet Gala is one of the finest RCAs recorded in London's Kingsway Hall
The chunks of great ballet music are well served by orchestra, conductor and engineer
Performances are executed to a very high standard - the Royal Opera House Orchestra, both then and now, rank as one of the finest of opera orchestras
RECORDING 1959 at Kingsway Hall London
