Description
This great set was first issued in mono in 1957, just a year or so before stereo system was introduced. So this is the first stereo release. One of a few ballet music sets that I would listen through in one sitting! Britten marvelously captured the fantasy and mystery with his ingenious use of orchestral sound, including incredibly genuine sounding Javanese Gamelan music! This nice set is Dutch pressing using UK cut stampers so enjoys best of both worlds! Highly recommended!

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!
