Fledermaus Overture, Tales Of The Vienna Woods, Blue Danube

This performance was recorded in England, on Mercury's first European expedition at Manchester's Free Trade Hall June 20, 1956. Only three microphones were used - left, center and right - recording to three-track half inch tape. The 3-track tape was then mixed down to 2-track stereo on 1/4" tape. This 2-track Mercury Living Presence "Seeing-Ear" Stereophonic Tape Recording is a 1:1 duplicate of a 2nd (1st?) generation copy of the 2-channel master tape.
