Research about recording venues
I'm still far from reaching half of the challenge, but I found a massive Liverpool performance worth researching, and which made me interested about the performances and the venues they were recorded in.

The BBC archives say that this Liverpool performance by two choruses and two orchestras, conducted by George Hurst, was performed in the Anglican Cathedral on November 15th 1962 according to BBC archives.
It's a blasting performance even if I'm still far from finishing, but the sound is absolutely different from the famous Salzburg Festival 1956 performance by Dimitri Mitropoulos in the Felsenreitschule.
I've been researching about the recording venues of this work, especially for stereo performances, and there are some gaps that I'd like you to help me out with too.
