fROM ARTHUR SALVATORE, "sUPREME LP RECORDINGS" 2021
ARNOLD-ENGLISH, SCOTTISH AND CORNISH DANCES-LYRITA SRCS 109

Lyrita produced around 100 stereo LPs, but today they only market CDs. They are an independent label that wasn't large enough to have their own recording team so they used Decca's. This was a very smart move, because every Lyrita I've ever heard is at least excellent.

The music they recorded is all 20th Century and all by English composers. Most of the recordings are orchestral, but there are a few solo piano and chamber pieces and there is even one opera.

I chose this recording for two reasons; first it is one of their best sonically, and the music is much more accessible and popular than probably ant of the others. Unfortunately it is also on the TAS list, which means it will also usually cost more.

I've heard all the different pressings of this LP; Decca, Nimbus and EMI. There were noticeable differences; the earlier Decca and Nimbus pressings were slighlty more natural sounding, with more body, than the EMI, but I didn't feel it was significant. The largest difference was between the Decca and EMI. All of them are special, but I would avoid the EMI if you are intolerant of a leaner sound.
