Matrices 6964-2, 6963-2
Recorded 1916, London
Available from May 1917 to March 1926

This recording was the first orchestrally accompanied version of Vieuxtemps’s Ballade et Polonaise, though with wind band accompainment. British military pitch at this time was A=452Hz, so this is the standard I’ve adopted in this transfer, giving a speed of 83.6rpm.
