This is the Holy Grail of RCA in the stereo era.

LDS-6065, is a 2 record set -- a stunning performance by Ernest Ansermet; his only recording for RCA.

He conducts the wonderful Royal Opera House Orchestra, Covent Garden with the same Decca engineering team with Kenneth Wilkinson and Michael Williamson,  that recorded other RCA blockbusters in the super acoustics of Kingsway Hall in London, England.

This set is "Royal Ballet Gala Performance." It consists of 2 Shaded Dog LP's and a Soria Book with Arnold L. Haskell's great color lithographs and text. There is a program card, as if for a real performance and you were there, and a beautiful cloth bound slip set cover with a leather bound end. The whole package is thought-fully put together in RCA's best style.

The records are stunning in every way with a sound-stage that is tremendously wide,deep. The records are wonderfully transparent with great fidelity and mid-range tone. The inner detail of the orchestra is phenomenal. The mids and the highs are immediate and lively. The low end dynamic are earth shattering, like no other RCA, not even Alexander Gibson's "Witches Brew" or "Ballet Music of Gounod and Bizet"(LSC-2225, LSC-2449). So you can see this set ranks on top of the Best from RCA.

For some observers, this is RCA's best recording ever.

There is absolutely no Hole-in-the-middle syndrome. In every respect this set qualifies for the best of the best. The music being played is highlights from "Swan Lake", "The Nutcracker", "Sleeping Beauty", "Sylphides", "Giselle", "Coppelia", "Boutique Fantasque", and "Carnaval".

The vinyl is M-,M-,M-,M-. Every side has some very light scuffs that do not sound. The only flaw on side two being two small hairline needle marks..

The Case has a rounded outer spine with a wood color, indicating it is an early, not  later pressing. The stampers are 1S/1S/1S/4S. The inner Soria book and performance card are Mint. The outer cloth bound cover is Mint, with extremely slight wear on the main cover photo and no wear elsewhere on the box. The maroon-red box has some wear on its inner lower edge. Records are in original RCA sleeves with Nagoaka clear No. 102 sleeves on the inside of the RCA sleeves.

Don't miss your chance to get this Extremely RARE stereo RCA set. Also please view my other great recordings being auctioned on e-bay.

I will insure and pack the records well!
