Description
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
This beautiful and very rare LP from MK · Mezhdurodnaya Kniga (D 0759-0760(a), Soviet pressing, blue/silver MK “Stereo” label) features Rudolf Barshai conducting the Moscow Chamber Orchestra in magnificent performances of Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 1 in C Major BWV 1066 and Handel’s Concerto Grosso No. 10 in D minor Op. 6 HWV 328 – amazingly, these wonderful recordings seem never to have been transferred to CD.
The Moscow Chamber Orchestra was among the finest of its time, not only in Russia, but on the world stage, and Barshai proves the most discerning conductor, directing Bach and Handel with a stylistic awareness, exhiliration, and sheer joy that is infectious from first bar to last.
CONDITION:
The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.
The condition of the jacket is EXCELLENT. There is a bit of creasing to the upper-left corner, as well as minor bumping/wear at the other corners, slight edgeear, and minor discoloration and shelfwear to the rear panel. However, there are no seamsplits, owners’ markings, or other defects and the album remains solid, bright, and very strikiing in appearance – overall, an excellent collectors copy.
The condition of the LP itself is EXCELLENT++. Although surfaces are not absolutely silent, really this is a very fine copy and the playback is superb. Those requiring CD silent surfaces are kindly advised to look elsewhere. Overall, this rates as an excellent collector's copy.
