Description

CHOPIN - LES SYLPHIDES - Ballet / DELIBES LA SOURCE  

with The Paris Conservatoire  Orchestra conducted by  PETER MAAG

vinyl LP on DECCA SXL 2044  Uk  pressing   1958


I have acquired a large classical collection of wonderful recordings from a very keen and dedicated collector.

They are all mostly from the late 50s to mid 60s - Something of a Golden Age in Classical recording

All records are inspected very carefully and Gradings are based on Record Collector magazine.

I try to only offer recordings in a minimum of excellent Condition unless it is something particularly rare 

when I will do my best to describe any visual or audible flaws
