Intended uploading this in April but as CRQ have just done the Krips/RPO Mozart/Haydn (here) - decided to complete editing these files. Just a wash'n'go - no auto-declick - so not a snooze-a-thon. Transfer a bit brighter/cleaner than the 1968 Festivo reissue.   Philips "Festivo" SFM 23024  Cover & Sleeve-note >>>

12LP boxset. 1963 Decca LP/Matrices: NO8Y-0815/0816 -1R. Recorded: 28-29 September 1962 -Walthamstow Assembly Hall.
Mozart 35 appears superior to Israel PO (SXL - the original unplayed LP is too valuable to wet-clean - nor prepared to wet-clean the other Krips 'as new' 1956/7 LXT). Have 3x sets of this 12LP box..4 other LP's are on this blog - see Munch, above.  Booklet notes + Covers for 4x Krips Mozart/Haydn's >>>
