I must have ordered 30 discs from this vendor via Amazon but they don't seem to care, so I guess I am striking the vendor from my list and will continue to listen to the Gilbert recording via Spotify, which actually sounds rather good when played on my main system.
    Make a direct claim to Amazon - that is what i did when all your music were difficult and Amazon refunded me .

      This is one of the public performances before the work was recorded by Philips, as was more or less standard practice in those years as a kind off gentlemen agreement between Philips (Phonogram in those days) and the orchestra management (Flothuis and Haitink having the right of veto).
