Superb performance. The recording was made in the basilica of the Monastery of St. Florian near Linz, so it's very reverberant, but the mics are close enough to pick everything in fine detail.

An old one there.....one of the first LPs?....I guess the word Monaural had no meaning back then since the option of stereo didn't exist....

Yup very close to the same release date as the first LP. I think the LP was probably as much of an advancement from the old 78's as stereo was from the deep groove mono's possibly more.
