This handsome and rare LP from Telefunken (SLT 43001, German pressing, black/silver label – ED1, stereo) features Joseph Keilberth and the Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg's glorious account of Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 in E-flat Major Op. 55 "Eroica", richly recorded at the Osterstrasse, Hamburg in October/November 1956.
The underrated Keilberth was a remarkable musician, one now enjoying critical reassesment following Testament's issue of his transcendent 1955 Bayreuth Wagner 'Ring Cycle'. Hopefully, this will lead to further re-issues from Keilberth's large and highly distinguished discography. His Beethoven is revelatory, and the Telefunken engineering is superb throughout.
There are insightful liner notes on the reverse side of the jacket by Dr. Wolfgang Wtorczyk, provided in both German and English. The striking cover photo shows sculptor Caspar Clemens von Zumbush's statue of Beethoven at the Beethovenplatz, near the Konzerthaus in Vienna.
CONDITION:
The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.
The condition of the front laminated jacket is VERY GOOD. There is slight laminate lift, as well as minor edgewear, more so at corners. However, there are no bends, seamsplits, owners’ markings, or other defects, and the album remains solid, bright, glossy, and highly attractive – overall, a very good collector’s copy.
The condition of the LP itself is EXCELLENT. Although the surfaces are not perfectly silent, really this is a fine copy and playback is superb, close to NM. If you must have a flawless or NM copy, then please do not buy this LP. Overall, this rates as an excellent collector's copy.
