I believe that one of the London halls had problems with traffic noise
getting into the recordings. I think it was Kingsway Hall. In my recording
of Vaughn Williams' Norfolk Rhapsody, there's an eerie whailng noise at
the end, just as the music fades to silence. I suspect that it's a truck
outside. According to the liner notes, this was recorded in Abbey Road
Studio #1, in 1968.
David, do you know where the London Symphony recording was done?
