Highly collectable title from from the legendary RCA Living Stereo "Shaded Dog" line. RCA revolutionized stereo with these groundbreaking recordings. On the TAS (The Absolute Sound) List of exceptional recordings.

Cover is in excellent condition. There is a small spot of chipping of the cover at the top right corner. Very faint what looks like scotch tape residue on the back cover in the top center. Original RCA inner sleeve looks great. Very light scuffs and hairlines... a hint of surface noise in spots.

3. Violin Concerto in D, Op.77: Allegro giocoso, ma non troppo vivace

Review: This is by far my most favorite recording of the Brahm's Violin Concerto. Henryk Szeryng is in top notch form, and the backing by the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Pierre Monteux is excellent.

Mr. Szeryng, one of the greatest violinists of the 20th century, recorded this concerto several times. This one was originally released as a RCA Living Stereo LSC-2281 Shaded Dog on vinyl in 1959. It was awarded a Grand Prix du Disque. The master tape they used for this particular release was from an EU DECCA master. Originally recorded in London's Kingsway Hall June 10-12, 1958 by Kenneth Wilkinson and produced by James Walker.

Henryk Szeryng was one of the greatest violinists of the 20th century. He had an incredible technique, but his finest attribute was his artistry. If you love great violin playing you will love this recording. ~ Amazon

Living Stereo: In the decade following 1953, RCA Victor made a substantial body of recordings which have come to be identified with their early stereo release label, Living Stereo. As the adoption of Stereo audio became more widespread, Living Stereo offered a wide range of music and performances in high quality sound. A majority of these records, particularly classical music, offer music, performances and audio quality which are considered definitive. Living Stereo influenced many of the recordings that followed with their recording and marketing philosophies.
