From Liner Notes: Though not conducted by Antal Doráti, 'The Magic of the Bells' was recorded at the same time as the '1812* Overture church bells and sound effects, on 10 May 1958. An oddment in the Mercury Living Presence catalogue, it is included here by way of bonus because of its relevance to one of Doráti's (and the 1812's) most celebrated recordings.
