The Archiphon label, publisher of remastered rare historical performances, presents this "LP pure" reissue of Hermann Scherchen conducting the Vienna State Opera Orchestra on works by four Russian composers. This digital-only edition of the original 1959 album was transferred from vinyl released by the Westminster Recording Company using first pressings and high end equipment. Westminster was a cult classical music label that earned a well-deserved reputation among audiophiles for the superior sound quality of its albums. Scherchen began his long association with Westminster in the early 1950s and the recordings he made for the label established his name internationally.
