ITEM DESCRIPTION:
This 2LP gatefold set – a beatiful collector's copy – from Philips (6769 080, Dutch pressing, red/white label, DDD stereo) features conductor Bernard Haitink and the Concertgebouw Orchestra's magnificent account of Bruckner's Symphony No. 8 in C minor (2nd version, 1980), sumptuously recorded at the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam, on 25/26 May 1981. This remarkable performance is imbued a great sense of spirituality and grandeur, well capturing the oft-rmade likeness of Bruckner's music to a "cathedral of sound". Philips' engineering is superb, boasting great dynamic range and amplitude, as well as detail and warmth.
The interior panels of the gatefold jacket contain insightful liner notes by Karl Schumann, printed in German, English, and French. The striking cover design is uncredited.
CONDITION:
The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.
The condition of the gatefold jacket is near-MINT. Really, there are no flaws to speak of and the album appears virtually as new. There are no seamsplits, bends, owners' markings, or other defects and the album remains solid, bright, glossy, and very striking in appearance – overall, a lovely collector's copy.
The condition of the 2 LPs iis near-MINT and the playback in both is superb – overall, these rates as truly fine collector's copies.
