Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Franz Schalk
HMV D.1473-7 Album no.96 Matrices: Ck 2854-63 (II-II-II-II-I-II-II-II-II-II). Recorded: 4/11 April 1928 - Mittlerer Konzerthalle, Vienna
Original 1928 set (my Red label set is pressed from later-sequence metal parts). Side 1 transferred @ 0.5dB less than sides 2-6, and 1.0dB less than sides 7-10. Side 6 has some harmonic/cutter distortion. The 24bit file is somewhat superior...and a better source if you want to 'noise-reduce' the file; thereby likely turning it into near-featureless sludge.
