Sir,-It is time the National Broadcasting Service replaced some of its classical gramophone records with new ones. Many of the records of the major symphonic works are of pretty ancient vintage and the listener’s enjoyment is marred by surface noise and excessive vibration in the lower register. An example is Tchaikovski’s "Pathetique" symphony, of which the Service appears to possess recordings by three different orchestras. The one by Mengelberg and the Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam must be anything from ten to: fifteen years old. More recordings by the Boyd Neel Orchestra would also be very welcome.
