Notes

Maker: Melodiya (Мелодия — Всесоюзная фирма грампластинок), USSR Ministry of Culture; pressed at the Aprelevka Order of Lenin Plant (Апрелевский ордена Ленина завод). The performance is the Berman/Giulini recording originally made for Deutsche Grammophon (1976), here on a Soviet licensed pressing. Date: Circa 1980s (tentative). The label bears "ГОСТ 5289-80," indicating manufacture no earlier than 1980; the "С10" stereo prefix is consistent with the early-to-mid 1980s. Within the collection's 1959–1990 range. Place of Origin: USSR (Aprelevka).

Notes

The Supraphon jacket (Kameníková/Bělohlávek, Czechoslovakia, 1977) and the Melodiya disc (Berman/Giulini, USSR, ≥1980) are from two unrelated releases that share only the repertoire (Liszt's piano concertos) — almost certainly why a disc and sleeve got recombined. The jacket's correct disc (Kameníková) and the disc's correct jacket (the DG/Melodiya Berman sleeve) are both absent here. This swap is itself a small artifact of how records circulated, were re-sleeved, and were kept under conditions where original packaging often went astray.
