We used to have a 78rpm recording of Mendessohn's Scherzo from his Octet. It was pretty good IIRC. I'm not sure if we still have it anywhere - many of the family's 78rpm recordings bacame dispersed over the years.
I wonder which recording it was. I'm sure it was an HMV - perhaps the Boyd Neel Orchestra? If that's still available, as a digital version I'd quite like to hear it again.
I've been trying to identify it from 78rpm catalogues, but they don't seem very well organised, and searches throw up completely random works.
