Description

Benjamin BRITTEN  Noye’s Fludde

ARGO ZNF1  Stereo  Large oval Argo label

on the TAS Audiophile list- Audibly Suberb!


I have acquired a large classical collection of wonderful recordings from a very keen and dedicated collector.

They are all mostly from the late 50s to mid 60s - Something of a Golden Age in Classical recording

All records are inspected very carefully and 

Gradings are based on Record Collector magazine.

I try to only offer recordings in a minimum of excellent Condition unless it is something particularly rare when I will do my best to describe any visual or audible flaws 

BENJAMIN BRITTEN Noye’s Fludde  

The Chester Miracle play set to music

English Chamber Orchestra conducted by  

Norman Del Mar recorded at the 14th Aldeburgh Festival in Orford Church, Suffolk 


First Edition pressing on ARGO  from 1961

 

unfortunately

the Libretto is missing from this copy 


 Disc is visually  Excellent with some very faint surface hairline marks and audibly there are some occasional very faint ‘tics' -   

More specifically on side two there is a faint  'pop' midway  for about 25 secs or so   

Sleeve is Excellent  with the original Argo inner sleeve 

This is of course over 50 years old now and is surprisingly good shape for its vintage 

An elaborate ,ambitious and  hugely rewarding work from Benjamin Britten written in 1957

Astonishing recording considering the logistics of recording The main cast ,The English Chamber Orchestra,

a massive  chorus of animals sung by children and an East Suffolk Children’s Orchestra all in a rural church in 1961 

(50 years ago now) rightly on the TAS (Harry Pearson recommended audiophile list). 

  

You will be pleased to learn there is no reserve and a low starting price 

Many thanks for reading and good luck with your bids !
