 HAYDN SYMPHONIES HISTORIC LIBRARY OF RECORDED MASTERPIECES SET COMPLETE 16 ALBUMS QUASI NEW!

ULTRA RARE COMPLETE SET (16 ALBUMS) OF MAX GOBERMAN HAYDN SYMPHONIES SERIES WITH THE VIENNA STATE OPERA ORCHESTRA QUASI NEW!

Mega rare! Ultra Rare! Extremely rare! You can use whatever adjective you want to emphasize the rarity of this set! In my 16 years experience trading records on eBay I have never ever seen or come across this complete historic set of 16 albums listed. This surely speaks volumes about what a collector’s treasure this set is! And the icing on the cake is the quasi new condition /mint condition the set is in!

A brief history!!

Max Goberman was a brilliant student of Fritz Reiner. In 1959 Goberman founded the Library of Recorded Masterpieces with the intention of recording all 104 symphonies of Joseph Haydn with the Vienna State Opera Orchestra to be sold by subscription. Presentation was in lavish gate-fold sleeves, with the issues devoted to the Haydn symphonies containing the full orchestral scores of the works recorded. The recordings were made in vivid stereophonic sound! This ambitious project was never completed and was cut short after 45 symphonies by Goberman’s untimely death while recording in Vienna in 1962 at the young age of 51! Some of his Haydn Symphonies recordings were later released on CBS's Odyssey label, but the sound was poor due to the centre channel being held back.

ABOUT THE RECORDINGS:

In all his recordings Goberman’s conducting was uniformly vigorous and exciting, whether it was a score by Haydn, Vivaldi or Bernstein. His recordings of Haydn Symphonies are considered by music critics to be more "original" than many of the over-studied and picked-over, period instrument Haydn symphony recordings that followed in great numbers in the second half of the 20th century.  His untimely and sudden death due to a heart attack while recording in Vienna in 1962 robbed the musical world of a true pioneer in musical conducting.

One of the highlights of these historic recordings is the horn playing on Symphony No. 48 Maria Theresia which is still renowned.
