Description
redgarnett Store ITEM DESCRIPTION:
This handsome LP from Regal (SREG 1016, English EMI pressing, blue/silver label, stereo) features Rudolf Kempe and the Berlin Philharmonic in a splendid collection of Beethoven Overtures, all richly recorded at the Grünewaldkirche, Berlin in July and September 1957.
The exact contents are as follows:
Fidelio Op. 72b
Leonore No. 3 Op. 72a
Coriolan Op. 62
The Creatures of Prometheus Op. 43
Egmont Op. 84
This is exalted conducting and orchestral playing by any standard, the Berliners playing with a resiliant power and solid gold tone that is just breathtaking – not to be missed.
There are authoritative liner notes on the reverse side of the jacket by Leonard Duck, printed in English only. The striking cover art 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 jacket is VERY GOOD+. There is a ½” split to the lower-right corner and wear along the open edge, but that is all. There are no bends, owners' markings, or other defects, and the whole remains solid, bright, glossy, and highly attractive – overall, a very good collector's copy.
The condition of the LP itself is EXCELLENT. Though there is occasional light surface noise, in general the playback remains quite fine. However, those wanting a flawless or near-MINT copy are kindly advised to look elsewhere. Overall, this rates as an excellent collector's copy.
