Description
Beautiful copy of this monumental set of complete set of Shostakovich's most personal musical compositions. The composer himself was very impressed by their performance and was in close correspondence with the members during the preparation of the recordings (originally issued as individual discs by Decca's L'Oiseau-Lyre label but only as a boxed set by Decca in 1981, well after they moved pressing operations to the Netherlands). Dutch only pressing for the box set.
Record condition: All NM, some appear to be unplayed!
Box condition: EX+ (slight edge wear, otherwise solid)
Booklet condition: NM-
Note: I'm a collector, not a dealer. The reason I'm selling is to downsize my collection. Every record I offer was hand-picked based on its merits on music, performance, and sonics (not necessarily in that order!). I will list recording credentials such as producer, engineer, venue, date, etc. as I believe as an educated buyer, these will offer crucial info for an unfamiliar record to make a buying judgement. Hope you'll find this useful!
