  Description Ravel - Bolero - Previn - London Symphony Orchestra on XRCD24
  Cut from the Original Analogue EMI Master Tapes Standard "Red Book" CD Compatible with Any CD Player
  André Previn had been principle conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra for over ten years by the time he completed the recording of Boléro on this record, the longest tenure with the LSO of any single conductor. During that time, he raised the profile of both the orchestra and himself with UK television appearances on such popular programs as Morecambe and Wise and on his own André Previn's Music Night where he introduced classical music to a mass UK audience. His recorded legacy with the LSO belongs to that golden decade of analogue recordings, mainly for EMI, which included the kind of repertoire in which Previn excels, such as Russian Romantics like Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev as well as British composers like Walton and Britten but his versatility is also reflected in repertoire as diverse as Debussy and Haydn. This release consisting of Previn and the LSO's sensational readings of Ravel's Bolero, Daphnis et Chloé – Suite No. 2 and Pavane por une infant défunte features recordings captured on June 26, 1979 (Boléro) at the Kingsway Hall, London and July 14, 1979, No.1 Studio, Abbey Road, London. This superior audiophile XRCD24 edition was culled from original analogue EMI master tapes and is a standard "Red Book" CD configuration compatible with all CD players.
