While at college in 1957 our prof of music, who claimed to have
perfect pitch, said the Kell version of the Mozart concerto was
recorded on a Bb instrument and it therefore pained him to have to
listen to it! I think the recording was issued in GB on Brunswick. I
have seen no mention of this in any of the correspondence and I
wonder if it might have any relevance to the pitch of the Stravinsky
referred to elsewhere. Could the recording equipment have been
questionable?
