Description
One of a handful of Wagner/Furtwangler rarities we have just had in, from a reviewers estate. This item is from a list of mono era collectable opera sets & recitals collected first-hand from a proudly-cherished record collection. As you can see, I have listed the Callas items first, but also included collectable conductors and other soloists who no opera lover would want to exclude. These HMV, Columbia & Decca sets are in beautiful sound, and so well preserved as to be an ideal investment set. These were mainly played once to transfer to reel to reel, and have been stored archivally, as the pristine state of the sleeves and lack of spindle marks confirms..
1950s first type UK pressing HMV ALP 1506/10: Wagner Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg, with Grummer, Schock, etc. cond. Kempe with the BPO.
UK red/gold pressings. Complete with insert and libretto.
Records in Near Mint condition and box/booklet in Excellent condition original Booklet enclosed.
There are no feelable marks to this set, just a few superficial scuffs not affecting sound where there are any at all, and it looks to have had very few plays in its 60 odd years, easily the best set I have seen. The leatherette finish earliest type box is in lovely excellent condition. Fine performances in excellent mono sound (heard with a recent Ortofon mono cart).
When we post this to you, it will be housed in a hard card custom made new box.
