1957 Mercury MG 50167 Living Presence

Sealed

This is a very rare find.  A brand new original 1957 copy of Paul Paray's most reknowned recordings on Mercury Living Presence still sealed!   I just can't imagine how this could have stayed sealed for over 50 years, except that this came from a Radio Station library that changed its format from classical to jazz many years ago.  It must have been a duplicate copy that was never opened.

The Saint-Saëns' Symphony No. 3 in C minor is one of Paray's most renowned recordings, made in October 1957. The circumstances surrounding the recording were fortuitous. Paray had built the Detroit Symphony Orchestra into one of the world's most distinguished. Marcel Dupré, a friend and fellow student from childhood, was organist for the session. Dupré, as a young student, had pulled the organ stops for the composer Camille Saint-Saëns in a performance of the Symphony No. 3 in Paris, and the organ of Ford Auditorium in Detroit was well suited to the work.  As well as being among the most authoritative readings of the work, the original analogue recording on the Mercury label remains an audiophile reference in vinyl.
