RARE AUDIOPHILE GEM! Beethoven: Die Neun Sinfonien – René Leibowitz / RPO (7-LP Box Set) – Edition Phönix EPH-05 – Factory Sealed / Brand New

Up for auction is a magnificent, exceptionally rare copy of Beethoven's Nine Symphonies conducted by René Leibowitz, performing with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Beecham Choral Society. This is the prestigious Edition Phönix audiophile reissue (Catalog: EPH-05), produced in Germany under the strict quality standards of the Analogue Audio Association (AAA) and beautifully pressed on heavy 180g vinyl at the famous Pallas facility.

Leibowitz’s 1961 Beethoven cycle (originally captured by legendary producer Charles Gerhardt and engineer K.E. Wilkinson) is universally revered by audiophiles for its breathtaking, transparent sonics and its brisk, historically faithful interpretations of Beethoven’s original metronome markings. This AAA remaster captures the vivid, organic three-dimensional soundstage of Walthamstow Assembly Hall like no other edition.

🔍 CONDITION NOTES

• Media Condition: Mint (M) — Factory sealed. The records have never been removed from the box or touched by a turntable needle. Pristine unplayed surfaces guaranteed.

• Box Condition: Near Mint (NM) — The factory shrink-wrap is 100% intact around the box structure. Please note that there is very minor, typical shelf-wear flattening/rubbing visible at the extreme corners beneath the wrap (as thoroughly documented in the close-up photos), which is completely normal for heavy multi-LP configurations. The box retains its crisp shape, bold orange frame borders, and perfect graphics.

An essential, ultimate-fidelity addition for any classical vinyl connoisseur or serious audiophile collector looking for the definitive version of this legendary performance.
