"it is surprising just how many of those pioneering recordings stand up today; I guess they were often real "events" and meticulously rehearsed under the best conductors."
Those who possess the Philips Classical Favourites LPs of Mahler 8 (a live recording under Eduard Flipse) will be familiar with the lengths the conductor took to obtain a recording that is free of extraneous noises including having traffic re-routed away from the concert hall and employing a team of men to chase pigeons off the roof of the building - a good job it was a day free of thunderstorms.
