 Brahms -  Double Concerto for Violin and Cello in A Minor , Opus 102 Soloists: GEORG KULENKAMPFF and ENRICO MAINARDI  accompanied by  L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande conducted by Carl Schuricht
from Wikipedia: In 1935 Georg Kulenkampff  formed a celebrated trio with the pianist Edwin Fischer and the cellist Enrico Mainardi, in which he remained active until 1948. He also played in piano duos, especially with Georg Solti and Wilhelm Kempff: with Solti he recorded the Brahms sonatas, Mozart's 20th sonata and Beethoven's Kreutzer sonata for Decca, and there is also a Kreutzer with Kempff (DGG, 1935).  His (Decca) recording of the Brahms Double Concerto with Mainardi, under the baton of Carl Schuricht, is distinguished.

 Legendary London Set LA-147 consisting of four 12" 78 rpm records T.5393, T.5394, T.5395 and T.5396 in an album 

This is the  1949 78 rpm record set of four records  in the original album for release in the US and Canada. The records are made in the UK.

The cardboard album is complete with spine, front and back covers as well as the program notes 

inside the front cover and is in excellent solid condition- however, there are some slight wear signs- it is not perfect-see scans.

RECORD GRADING (Important, please read and ask questions if unclear): 

T.5393 (sides 1 & 8) Condition: Side 1: Shiny, a few minor marks and a short scratch 

                                                                  about 4 cm in from the edge that makes three very light ticks    

                                                      Side 8: Shiny, a few minor marks 

T.5394 (sides 2 & 7) Condition: Side 2: Shiny, almost perfect

                                                   Side 7: Shiny, background light 'scratchy' sound, first eight grooves

T.5395 (sides 3 & 6) Condition: Side 3: Shiny, very minor non-sounding light scratch

                                                   Side 6: Shiny,  very minor non-sounding light scratch

T.5395 (sides 4 & 5) Condition: Side 4: Shiny, minor scuff mark

                                                   Side 5: Shiny- almost perfect

Overall, the records play beautifully and look great , I grade this set at 9.5 out of 10 

As is typical for shellac 78's of this era there are occasional background sounds and there is the typical slight background hiss.  Records all are perfectly flat- there is no warping.

I  point out all flaws, so that you will have no unpleasant surprises when you receive your records.

This is a really excellent copy of this rare set but it is not perfect, due to the very minor condition issues noted above.  

Please do not ask for price adjustments after purchase due to the set not being in absolutely brand new mint condition.

I did not clean the records except for a minor surface wipe.
