The new CD produced in close collaboration with the BrüderBuschArchive at the Max-Reger-Institut Karlsruhe collects all of Fritz Busch's recordings made in London in the 1930s. Busch supplies renderings of Richard Strauss's Don Juan and Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche that have retained their charm and vivacity to this very day, Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche being a CD premiere. The second half of the CD features Mozart conducted by one of the foremost Mozartians of his times and the founder-conductor of the Glyndebourne Opera Festival, where the rightly famous recordings of the Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte and Le nozze di Figaro overtures were recorded in 1935/6
