Description
This is certainly one of the most famous and acclaimed recordings of La Traviata ever and has seldom been out of the catalogue in one form or another. However you'll search far and wide to find this particular, limited edition---- in such excellent condition ----- manufactured by RCA in the days when the record companies took great pride in their classical music product. The very heavy slip case is divided into several compartments, one containing a box holding the 3 LPs and full-size libretto; the other a hardbound copy of a beautiful English translation of Alexandre Dumas' novel La Dame aux Camélias, also full-size. Included additionally is a fabulous essay written by George Mereck tracing the history of both Dumas' story and Verdi's use of it. As to the condition, the records have never been played or teven aken out of their onion-skin sleeves. Everything looks new, with the possible exception of the slip case which shows very minor shelf wear. This would be a prized possession of any serious opera- recording collector. Include $4.00 for U.S.Media postage. Please inquire about international,airmail costs. Guaranteen shipping withing 24 hours of payment.
