EMI SLS788/9 Beethoven:9 Symphonies/Philharmonic O/Klemperer, 9LP box

$

38

This set must be considered the pantheon of German conducting tradition! Usually the Beethoven 9 box is squeezed onto 7 lps but no, here EMI stubbornly spreads them out onto 9 lps with all the overtures added! The booklet is furbished with plenty of music examples which is not part of the original single issues. If you are a "trophy label" collector, you may want to spend your hard-earned money (a LOT!) on the B/S(!) SAX originals. If you want to listen to the wonderful music making and legendary early EMI stereophonic recording, this set can be yours for a fraction of ONE original LP!

Record condition: all NM, and yes, I checked them all! Looks barely ever played at all.

Box condition: EX+ (evidence of a small sticker tear)

Booklet condition: NM

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!
