Here's the first side of the Classic Records reissue of The Royal Ballet with Ernest Ansermet conducting the Royal Opera House Orchestra. This was recorded in famed Kingsway Hall in 1957 for the British Decca Record company and licensed to RCA for sale in America.
As we reported back in April, Astralwerks/Virgin has remastered Brian Eno’s four classic 1970's albums. Here Come the Warm Jets, Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy), Another Green World and Before and After Science using the original masters—as delivered by Brian Eno. No re-equalization or other revisionist alterations have been made in the transfer process.
If you're expecting the young, daring Brian Eno to materialize after not making a vocal album for 28 years, you'll be disappointed. This is the reflective, contemplative work of a mature artist more interested in setting the table than in hacking it up and eating off of the floor.
