Notes

Gravure Universelle

Recorded during March of 1955 in the Northrop Memorial Auditorium on the University of Minnesota campus, this performance was taken with a single Telefunken microphone and with the orchestra seated in normal concert arrangement on the stage. A special study was made of the auditorium reverberation characteristic and its relationship to the illusion of presence in solo and ensemble texture before arriving at a decision regarding the final microphone placement and the stage area where the orchestra would be seated. In short, special pains were taken to achieve a maximum of tonal "warmth" with no loss in clarity of orchestral texture. We call attention also to the balance of the important solo piano part in the Russian Dance and Petrouchka's Room episodes midway in Side 1, as well as to the percussion and brass through the whole of In the Moor's Room (latter third of Side 1) and to the muted trumpets which signalize the return of Petrouchka's ghost at the conclusion of the ballet (end of Side 2)."
