Karajan was a great Straussian, and this collection, produced by John Culshaw in 1959-60, with the VPO (especially the strings) in superb form, shows him at his most charismatic. Also sprach Zarathustra was a famous early Decca stereo demonstration record, and remains as spectacular as ever. The many-faceted portrait of Till is delectably witty, Don Juan is exciting, racy, and full of sensuality, which is voluptuously shared by the dramatic and sinuous 'Salome's dance'. The transfers undoubtedly recreate the sonic excitement of the originals.

The French composer Charles Dieupart travelled to London around 1700, and in 1701 he published six harpsichord suites.
Dieupart simultaneously published an edition of these suites in a version for recorder (or flute), violin and continuo, including precise instructions as to the particular type of recorder on which the suites should be played.
Jacques-Martin Hotteterre was known as "Le Romain", a sobriquet that may be attributable to a visit to Rome. Hotteterre's Suitte was written in the heyday of French mannerism, a stylistic trend characterised by its extreme ornamentation.

All told, it's an excellent document of their early days that's strongly recommended to Doors fans.
