“

Scherchen leads a particularly leisurely First that seems somewhat emasculated, with beautiful balances, tamed horns, smooth layering of sound and dances that seamlessly glide into one another – quite surprising for a conductor so thoroughly versed in modern music, but perhaps an entirely appropriate attempt to restore the original intent of appealing to the most admiring instincts in a potential patron whose mores were saturated in the leisurely courtly pleasures of nobility. ~ Peter Gutmann

”

Lawrence Friedman, in his succinct Scherchen’s discography dates the record in III/1960, not in 1959 as said in the disc covers. I give more credit to Friedman...

As I explained somewhere, I get the discs from a Public Library and they mark covers and booklet with their stamp and their codes, so I have to erase it the best I can.

Fortunately, nemenenem provides us those clean scans from an one disc version (thanks a lot, nemenenem):
