Koussevitzky: Haydn Symp. No. 94 (1946)

This seems to be something of a rarity, never on CD as far as I can tell: Haydn's Symphony No. 94 ('Surprise') recorded in Symphony Hall, Boston, on 5 November 1946, by Koussevitzky and 51 players of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Transferred from RCA Victor album DM 1165 (records 11-9764 to 11 9766) by an Australian collector (vintagesounds3878), and posted to YouTube.

This was Koussevitzky's second recording of this piece, a remake of his 1929 version, which also seems to be quite rare, so I hope to post that soon.
