These were all licensed from the Concert Hall label, which ceased
doing business in the US some time earlier. Le Conte was a spirited
conductor in the Paray mold who also did a fine disc of Chabrier that
ended up on Perfect (an Epic sub-label).

More information on Bianca please.
More from Concert Hall. Sondra Bianca: there is a fascinating story,
way too involved to go into here. To condense it: she is Paul
Lazare's daughter. Lazare was an entrepreneur who made recordings in
Hamburg and licensed them to dozens of off-brand labels, under a
variety of pseudonymns. The same recording could turn up a dozen
times under a dozen different names. (In fact, we have a whole series
of "musical mysteries" releases that delve into these strange items
and identify the real performers).
Ms Bianca is a most talented, accomplished pianist. Not only did she
play on many of her father's pseudonymous recordings, but made many
under her own name for MGM and other labels. She made her first
public appearance at 5, and by age 11 was appearing with Lorin
Maazel. She performed with the NY Philharmonic and orchestras around
the world. She would later become a producer for Columbia Special
Products and Music Minus One. Ms Bianca is currently alive and well
in NYC. We have put out a couple CDs of her playing, and she has been
gracious enough to contribute informative and entertaining
annotations for them.
HS 11012 is a title I've wanted to get a hold of for a future
release, but have never found a stereo copy of the LP that was
sufficiently clean to work with. If you have such a copy I'd like to
hear from you very much.
