I dont recall the name, but there was one release by a Romanian label...

the Melodiya sounds quite subdued, but very smooth...I love the Supraphon and Erato( amazing dynamics and dead quiet background)...The Telefunkens sound a bit fwd and hard, as if recorded in a room to small. The DGG sounds very clear and dynamic but its a noisy vinyl i think,,,the DMM is a great production,,
