Description
Prokofiev: Love for Three Oranges. Scythian Suite. Dorati, London Symphony. Dorati, the Mercury team, the London players, all at top form. 33 RPM.
Sealed. Never played. Stored upright in my collection. It was a duplicate purchase. These are no longer in production.
This is one of the best LPs from the famous Mercury Living Presence series. Bernie Grundman and Mike Hobson at Classic Records worked together with the late Wilma Cozart Fine on these vinyl reissues which also included 45 rpm versions.
According to Harry Pearson of the Absolute Sound: " The Three Oranges is the best on record, and the wild and woolly Scythian (heavily in debt to Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring) was, in its LP days, another of Mercury’s cartridge-killer discs and just in the first few minutes. Intense, visceral, with Prokofiev at his most barbaric, before he went back to Russia and got tamed by the Stalinites."
Good luck with bidding!
Attention bidders: I regret offering UPS ground as the main option. If we use USPS media mail rates, we can knock down the shipping cost.
