Following First Hand Records' highly-praised set of Cherkassky HMV recordings, they now publish the complete HMV stereo recordings made by the London Mozart Players and Harry Blech. They are issued here for the first time on CD, most for the first time in stereo. This welcome tribute is released in 2009 to celebrate both the 60th anniversary year of the group and the centenary of Blech's birth. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London, in 1956 & 1957 and sympathetically remastered there using the original HMV master tapes, these recordings sound magnificent. LMP are the longest established chamber orchestra in the UK and have always been greatly respected worldwide. Highlights from this issue include Mozart's great Posthorn Serenade and a magnificent reading of the Jupiter Symphony.
