Annotation

Notes:

  • 1.1 Hoe-Down. Booklet states this as 1961-10-09. I can't find any indication that such a recording exists, and the acoustid matches the 1960-05-02 recording.
  • 1.6 March to the Scaffold. Booklet says this is the 1968-03-05, but the length and acoustid match the 1963-05-27 recording.
  • 1.9 Booklet says this was recorded April 1972 in London. That recording was by the LSO, not the NYPO as stated. The length is a better match for the 1958-01-20 recording with the NYPO, and the acoustid doesn't match any existing recording,
