The program is approximately 52 minutes. There is no opening announcement, the program begins with the first movement of the symphony. There is applause at the end of the program and a closing announcement
These discs came from the estate of Rudy Vallee and the writing on the label of side 3 is that of Rudy Vallee, however I do not know what connection Rudy Vallee had with this program
Discs are in Excellent+ Condition with Excellent+ to Near Mint- sound, Beautiful Discs!
Due to their size, 16 inch discs will not play on most standard turntables. For $10 I can include a CD transfer of both discs for the buyer
