Description

The Spanish conductor Ataulfo Argenta's life and promising career were tragically cut short by a freaky carbon monoxide poisoning from his running car engine, while he and his mistress were making out in his closed garage. Equally colorful is his conducting of Spanish-flavored orchestral pieces here. This is one of the hotly pursued London records for performance as well as sonics. Contrary to popular belief, Wilkinson is not the engineer. He was on-site during the sessions but was manning the mono gears only.

Producer: Erik Smith

Engineer: Gordon Parry

Recording location/date: Kingsway Hall, London/31 Dec 1956 & 1 Jan 1957

Record condition: NM/NM

Cover condition: EX+ (slight crease, otherwise NM-), blue back

Stamper: 5E/4E ffss UK Decca 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!
