This beautiful LP from Philips (A 01274 L, Dutch pressing, plum/silver "Minigroove" label, mono) features Robert Casadesus in a magnificent all-Debussy recital, still a landmark in the composer's discography more than 60 years on. Casadesus is wholly inside Debussy's sound world and his playing combines supreme technical refinement with penetrating musicianship.

CONDITION – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.
The condition of the jacket is EXCELLENT. There is minor bumping at corners and mild discoloration. However, the album is without seamsplits, bends, owners' markings, or other faults, and the whole remains solid, bright, glossy, and highly attractive – overall, an excellent collector's copy.
The condition of the LP itself is near-MINT. Though the surfaces are not perfectly silent (and thus I have rated it NM vs. MINT) this is a fine copy and playback is superb. If you must have perfect surfaces, then please do not buy this LP. Overall, this rates as a NM collector's copy.
