Not quite sure how I managed it, but in addition to Malcom Sargeant and the Huddesfield, I seem to have acquired three others.
Otto Klemperer on Angel,
Colin Davis on Philips, and
Neville Marriner on Argo
The latter is based on the first performance March 23, 1743.
Hmm March 23 was my eldest brother's birthday, rest his soul, wonder if he had summat to do with my getting it?
Of course as a former Quebecois I can even sing the original Minut Chretien, that y'all call O Holy Night.
