CÉSAR FRANCK: SYMPHONY IN D MINOR
Recorded Concert Performance 1945
VOX PL 7230
Mega Rare Original 1952 US Pressing Mono LP
One of the rarest, if not the rarest, Furtwangler Records.
INTERESTING NOTES ABOUT THIS RECORDING: The tapes from this recording were among the ones Vox purchased from East German Radio. Furtwangler was informed about their existence shortly after they were pressed on this LP by Vox (together with the Beethoven # 4 Symphony VOX PL 7210 LP) and quickly filled a legal action to suppress them, making these records extremely scarce and highly desirable.
· Cover Grade: VG to VG+ (Some shelf wear, some seam/corner/edge wear, small seam split near the bottom left corner, shop sticker on the back cover).
· Vinyl Grade (visual): VG/VG- (some surface hairline scratches and one pressing bubble on side 2)
· Play Grade: Plays with very noticeable surface noise/thicking/cracling on the beginning of each side, then these combined noises become less intense as we approach the center of the record. No skips or jumps. Still enjoyable to listen, in my view.
*********GRADING SYSTEM*********
Generally, the records are visually graded, unless additional information indicates that they are play-graded.
Grading follows the “Goldmine Magazine” grading system in accordance with the following sequence:
M / NM / VG++ / VG+ / VG / G
where:
M = Mint
NM = Near Mint
VG = Very Good
G = Good
In general, my highest grade for a non-sealed record is NM (Near Mint). A record will be graded MINT only if it is sealed or if I am 100% sure that it was never played.
