Hi-Yo Silver!It's the Lone Ranger!
Thrilling performances. Yes,he does take them at a lick!! A little bass heavy & some distortion at climaxes,but these are classic performances. I think Beecham finds more humour & charm;but I have no complaints. I'm going to have to try reducing the bass a little more,though! :o I'm pretty sure I had this collection on a Camden Lp when I was a youngster. My grandparent's had lots of Lp's of classical music,which I used to play allot. They had allot of Decca Ace of Clubs Lp's in their collection. A fondly remembered label. I'm pretty sure they had this one (see below) & it's the one I played on their big old radiogram,when I visited them.
Their Lp's are still at my father's house (He's got dementia & he's,currently,in a care home! :() and I'll be able to check up on this one when I go there! Yes,the photo on the front,definitely,rings a bell! Van Beinum is well regarded,I gather;although,I must admit,I don't have any of his recordings.
