The complete Symphonie Espagnole, including the 3rd movement "Intermezzo", was recorded by Julian Olevsky at the recording sessions. However, the Westminster LP of the Symphonie Espagnole did not include it. Many recordings made about that era by other top ranking violinists, such as Huberman, Elman, Heifetz, Francescatti and Milstein, also omitted the Intermezzo.
It is now added on this set as originally recorded by Olevsky, presenting the complete 5 movements version - for the very first time.
The LP - as issued in 1960 and 1961 were available in both mono and stereo. For this re-release we used the stereo versions but the preserved Intermezzo exists only in mono and is included as such in this set.
