Description
ASD 255 MICHELANGELI RAVEL RACHMANINOV WG HMV NM
DESCRIPTION:
On offer with no reserve… Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli With The Philharmonia Orchestra Conducted By Ettore Gracis. Rachmaninov Concerto No. 4 In G Minor and Ravel Concerto In G Major. Original ED1 1st Press White / Gold UK Issue. The record available in this auction is the first STEREO pressing of this outstanding performance and was the first recording to bring the brilliant Michelangeli to the attention of discerning music lovers round the world. Of a Michelangeli concert at Carnegie Hall, Harold Schonberg of The New York Times wrote: "His fingers can no more hit a wrong note or smudge a passage than a bullet can be veered off course once it has been fired...." A superb pianist in both concertos, this recording has gone on to become a classic and is highly sought after by knowledgeable collectors. Please view the detailed images of the actual record for sale and see below for a full condition report.
