Praga Digitals LvB 5 & DSCH 10

[stuart]

I recently bought the Praga Digitals CD of Beethoven 5 and Shostakovich 10, but was confused with the recording information concerning the Beethoven. The booklet says 'Berlin, Jesus-Christus Kirche November 1961'. I cannot find this listed in John Hunt's discography 'Philharmonic Autocrat'. I take Hunt to be the authority on these matters.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks

Stuart

Praga have the wrong date for the Beethoven. They have remastered the Deutsche Grammophon recording, which was recorded on 9th to 14th March 1962.
