## Research gaps <!--research_gaps-->
| observation | domain | state | detail | source |
| ----------- | ------------- | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- |
| | identity | disputed | Recording months: the booklet note transcribed on Discogs gives Sheherazade 5/1957 and the 1812 Overture 6/1957; MusicBrainz recording relations give Sheherazade June 1957 and the 1812 Overture May 1957. The Discogs printed note is kept. | ^mb |
| | identity | disputed | Release date: MusicBrainz gives 2001-06-12 for the US release, Discogs only 2001 for both pressings, and the Deutsche Grammophon catalogue page shows 15 October 2009 (probably its digital date). The Release field keeps the year. | ^dg |
| | identity | not_applicable | The two US BMG Direct club editions with the same catalogue number carry club code D140960, not this barcode, so they are other articles (family variants). | ^discogs-club |
| | relationships | unknown | No source names the licensee of GS1 company prefix 0028947; no gs1_prefix_owner edge is recorded. | |
| | relationships | unknown | The US disc hub reads "MADE IN USA BY UML"; the US plant behind UML is not identified, so no manufactured_by edge points at the German Universal Manufacturing & Logistics stub for the US pressing. | ^discogs-us |
| | markets | stale | Market evidence is the catalogue entries for the 2001 pressings; the Amazon.com page for ASIN B00005LMW4 fetched but printed no barcode and garbled the artist, and Presto Music is blocked to the server. | |
| | packaging | unknown | Packaging (jewel case or other) is not stated by MusicBrainz or Discogs. | |

## About <!--about-->
A single CD in Deutsche Grammophon's 2001 "Westminster The Legacy" series pairing Hermann Scherchen's 1957 Vienna recordings of Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade, Op. 35, with Rudolf Streng as solo violinist, and Tchaikovsky's Ouverture solennelle "1812", Op. 49, both with the Vienna State Opera Orchestra.[^discogs] The recordings were made in the Mozartsaal of the Vienna Konzerthaus and carry a ℗ 1958; the European pressing was made in Germany by Universal M & L.[^discogs] The same barcode is on the US pressing, 289 471 215-2, manufactured and marketed by Universal Classics Group,[^discogs-us] which MusicBrainz dates to 12 June 2001.[^mb] Deutsche Grammophon still lists the album under this UPC in its catalogue.[^dg]
Westminster was an American classical label co-founded in 1949; MCA acquired its catalogue in 1979, and the recordings are now managed by Deutsche Grammophon.[^wp-westminster] Scherchen recorded for Westminster in Vienna in the 1950s, including the first commercial recording of Mahler's Seventh Symphony with the same orchestra in 1953.[^wp-scherchen] The old Barcodepedia listed this barcode in 2007 with data from Amazon.com.[^old-bp]
