Mastered by Bernie Grundman from the original
analog tape

200-gram double LP plated and pressed at Quality
Record Pressings

'Analogue Productions' Classic Records buyout
brought with it metal parts for many albums, cut
by Bernie Grundman, including for this record. ...
AP chose to produce a new stamper using the
'mother' cut from the original master tape by
Bernie Grundman. ... I compared this 33 1/3
reissue to the Classic 33 1/3 reissue and to an
original pressing that I'm lucky to own. ... The
QRP pressing was definitely more open, extended
and focused on top and transients were sharper
though in a completely natural way. The Classic
sounded somewhat softer and veiled. If you've got
both, you'll hear it in the percussive transients
first and then consistently throughout. ... If
this is one of your 'go to' sonic spectaculars and
you have other versions, you ought to consider
adding this one, though you'll have to wait for
the re-re-press. Both the sound, including dead
quiet vinyl, as well as the packaging are
first-rate.' ? Music = 11/11; Sound = 11/11 -

In the hearts of thousands, No. 1 on the Top RCA
list. While the bulk of Ansermet's recordings were
made with L'Orchestre de la Susise Romande, there
were a few with the Paris Conservatoire Orchestra
and the very occasional foray into recordings
with London orchestras, one of these being with
the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent
Garden, in 1959.

Analogue Productions is proud and excited to be
bringing back such a classic. Not just for the
music, which is superb, but also for the detailed
packaging, which in this case takes the form of a
22-page lavishly illustrated book that's
integrated into the tip-on gatefold jacket. If
you're new to ballet, this pictorial history will
introduce you to some of its most famous
productions ? old favorites such as The
Nutcracker, Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty, for
example ? but also less familiar tales such as
Carnaval, Les Sylphides and Coppélia. You'll also
make the aquaintance of famous ballerinas of the
Royal company, such as Margot Fonteyn, Nadia
Nerina and Beryl Grey. as well as choreographers
such as Jules Perrot and male dancers Alexis
Rassine and Michael Somes.

Musically you can't get better than the 200-gram
dead-silent platters pressed by Quality Record
Pressings, makers of the world's finest-sounding
LPs. Of course the best vinyl reflects the best
mastering, and that's accomplished here by Bernie
Grundman working from the original analog tape.
Stoughton Printing expertly handled the intricate
gatefold tip-on package.

Audiophilia Online Magazine wrote: 'This is the
stuff of which dreams are made. The Royal Ballet
Gala is one of the finest RCAs recorded in
London's Kingsway Hall. The chunks of great ballet
music are well served by orchestra, conductor and
engineer. Performances are executed to a very
high standard - the Royal Opera House Orchestra,
both then and now, rank as one of the finest of
opera orchestras.

'Conductor Ansermet keeps the pace moving, giving
the listener the impression of a dance event
rather than a dramatic concert hall reading. With
the exception of some of the Tchaikovsky scenes,
the music is light and remains so under Ansermet's
gentle touch. Each ballet is given full attention
by the players, something not always attained at
Covent Garden during long ballet nights! The
threat of eternity does have it's merits. The
recorded sound is simply amazing! Lustrous is one
word that comes to mind, accurate is another.

'Tonally, Messrs. Williamson and Wilkinson have
used their considerable talents to capture the
orchestra superbly. Woodwind and strings glow and
resonate, transporting this listener to a time
when simpler recording was better. Brass ring out
thrillingly and percussion effects are very
musical. Be it a bang, swish, rattle, crack or
snap, each percussionist is situated perfectly
within the beautiful Kingsway soundstage. Even the
difficult-to-record sound of the celeste is
captured in it's purely mechanical form. It's
delicate sound is heard to great effect during the
Nutcracker - originating stage left, the sound
decays across the stage of Kingsway with sparkling
beauty. Wonderful.'
