Description
BENJAMIN BRITTEN'S 'WAR REQUIEM' PERFORMED BY GALINA VISHNEVSKAYA, PETER PEARS, DIETRICH FISCHER-DIESKAU, CONDUCTED BY BRITTEN. RECORDED JANUARY 1963.
A TREASURE FROM MY LATE FATHER'S COLLECTION. MY FATHER, FRED SINDEN WORKED FOR DECCA RECORDS, BASED IN GLASGOW IN THE '60'S AND MET BRITTEN AND PEARS MANY TIMES. THIS SIGNATURE SAYS 'BENJAMIN BRITTEN EDINBURGH' AND THEN 'PETER PEARS' SO I'M ASSUMING THIS WAS SIGNED AT ONE OF HIS EDINBURGH FESTIVAL PERFORMANCES.
THE BOOK/LIBRETTO IS OF GOOD CONDITION, CONSISTENT WITH IT'S AGE. THE BOX IS ALSO OF GOOD CONDITION BUT THERE IS SOME SLIGHT 'BUBBLING' TO THE CELLOPHANE LAYER, AND IT IS A LITTLE WARN AT THE CORNERS. THERE IS A SMALL STICKER ON THE INSIDE OF THE BOX READING 'AUSTIN KYME... MIDDLESBROUGH'; - AUSTIN WAS MY GODFATHER AND HAD A RECORD SHOP IN MIDDLESBROUGH FOR MANY YEARS.
THE DISCS ARE OF SUPERB CONDITION - MY FATHER WAS OBSESSIVE ABOUT THE CARE OF HIS RECORDS!!
PLEASE NOTE THE PICTURED LABEL HAS THE WIDE SILVER BAND WHICH I BELIEVE MEANS THIS IS AN ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING.
ALL OF MY FATHER'S VAST COLLECTION OF CLASSICAL AND MANY RARE OR SIGNED L.P.'S, C.D.'S, VINYL, 78'S AND BOOKS AND EPHEMERA WILL EVENTUALLY BE LISTED HERE, SO PLEASE CHECK BACK AND SAVE ME AS A SELLER, IF MUSIC IS YOUR PASSION!
