Description
Generally recognized the most difficult piano concerto by Prokofiev, who himself is a renowned piano virtuoso. Played by the American pianist Malcolm Frager (beadless then!) who just won the gold medal of Queen Elizabeth competition. Wonderful Decca production engineered by Wilkinson! This extremely hard to find issue is a marvelous sounding 1S/1S very first pressing.
Producer: Charles Gerhardt
Engineers: Kenneth Wilkinson & Alan Reeve
Recording date/location: 18,20&21 Jun 1960/La Maison de la Mutualité, Paris
Issued: 1960Record condition: EX+/EX+ (no scratches, only a few smudges of surface marks that crackles lightly at the beginning and may clean better on an ultrasound machine)
Cover condition: EX+ (very slight edge wear)
Stamper: 1S/1S shaded dog RCA "I" pressing
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!
