Description

SPANISH PIANO MUSIC  performed by JOSE ITURBI

ALBENIZ:GRANADOS 

vinyl LP on EMI COLUMBIA SAX 2391  1960   STEREO    Uk  pressing   

I have acquired a large classical collection of wonderful recordings from a very keen and dedicated collector.

They are all mostly from the late 50s to mid 60s - Something of a Golden Age in Classical recording

All records are inspected very carefully and 

Gradings are based on Record Collector magazine.

I try to only offer recordings in a minimum of excellent Condition unless it is something particularly rare when I will do my best to describe any visual or audible flaws

DISC CONDITION  - Excellent  


Side 1      Visually Excellent - 

                

and audibly  Excellent- with just very occasional soft "tics"                   a few very light crackles towards the end of band 3 followed by 1 light pop                  for approx 6 Revolutions at begining of band 4 

    

Side 2     

  

Visually  Excellent  -  

               and audibly  Excellent-   with just very occasional soft "tics"  

              1 light pop midway  band 1 for 1 revolutions and i further light pop for 1 Rev midway band 2 

Sleeve  -  laminated front    

Excellent  condition  complete with Original Columbia  company inner sleeve  just very mild wear to opening edge of sleeve    
Here I loose a little objectivity as this is one of my absolute favourite recordings -  The choice of material and the playing is just glorious. Effortlessly fluid and the music just pours over you .  Issac Albeniz works were written between 1906 and 1909 .Similarly Enrique Granados is remembered for the pieces  he wrote towards the end of his life .The Allegri di Concierto dates from 1903 .
Curiously the run out groove ends with a noticible  hum on both sides rather than the usual silence - I can only guess this  was a device  to alert the listener to the fact that the record was finished
