Description
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
This outstanding and extremely rare LP – a superb collector’s copy – from Sony Classical (S 45748, Dutch pressing, silver label, DDD stereo, insert and original inner sleeve included) features Zubin Mehta and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra’s magnificent accounts of Bartok’s Concerto for Orchestra and the Suite from The Miraculous Mandarin. The former was recorded at the Philharmonie, Berlin in 1987, while the latter was set down at the Jesus-Christus-Kirche, Dahlem, Berlin in 1989. The sessions were produced by David Mottley and engineered by Michael Sheedy.
Incidentally, the engaging cover photo of Mehta was taken by Christian Steiner. Included is the near full-size insert with extensive notes – provided in French and Italian – that complement those printed on the rear of the jacket – in English and German – all by Philip Ramey.
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 near-MINT. Really, the flaws are quite minimal. There is some minuscule bumping at corners and the barest evidence of shelfwear, but that is all. In truth, the album appears almost as new. There are no seamsplits, bends, or owners' markings, and the album remains solid, bright, glossy, and highly attractive– overall, a very handsome collector's copy.
The condition of the LP itself is near-MINT and the playback is outstanding – overall, a truly fine collector's copy.
