[alberto]

There is a miswritten name. The suite op.34a is "Salambo".
The Hamlet Suite exists also on a IMG Cd (Sergiu Celibidache, Rias Orchestra - there are also some interventions from a chorus). The IMG is a 1957 live recording apparently later than the Celibidache Audite (iI have only the IMG).
