Wilkinson & Alan Reeve, recording engineers.
"This is a legendary record. It is so, more perhaps because of its stunning recording quality, than because of its breathtaking performance. Here we have a grand illusion of Kingsway Hall, and we are given a striking portrait of the London Symphony with its sections blending into a powerful whole. Altogether, this is a larger than life production. It is not so much real, but more than real. It is heroic.Yet Peter Maag´s understanding of the score is total, and the musicians of the London Symphony are wonderfully responsive." Ronald Penndorf, Recollections.
The record is in excellent condition. The cover is in excellent condition too, just showing some signs of age and storage. Please feel free to ask for further information. This is a private sale. Therefore I cannot grant any guarantee or liability. But I will grant return if you are not 100% satisfied with this record.
Buyers from outside Germany please ask for precise cost of shipment. In case you don´t have a PayPal account I will accept bank transfer too. Please ask for details. Buyers will receive a bonus record of my choice.
"Excellent" by my definition is a record without audible scratches, distortions (if not originally caused by the recording or cutting process) or other shortcomings. Records are mostly graded with old type cartridges like Ortofon SPU, Denon DL 103 e.g.. 'Modern' , more analytic cartridges sometimes may cause more groove or surface noise on vintage records.
