This is an auto-coupled release.

From the liner notes: For this recording, a single Telefunken microphone was hung 25 feet directly above the conductor's podium. The performances have been recorded and transferred from tape to disc masters on Fairchild tape recorders. The processing from tape to disc was done through McIntosh amplifiers which drive a Miller cutting head operating in accordance with the Fine-Fairchild Margin Control process of variable pitch and variable depth of cut. In this way, there is assurance of 100-percent reproduction in disc form of the recording originally captured on magnetic tape.

FOR BEST RESULTS, this record should be played at FULL ROOM VOLUME. Only in this way will the quieter musical passages be heard in proper relation to the full orchestral climaxes. Owners of wide-range reproducing equipment are advised to set their bass and treble controls so that playback characteristic will be in accordance with the response curve published by the Audio Engineering Society.
