Description
Georg Frederic Handel: Messiah
Sir Malcolm Sargent conducts the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra & The Huddersfield Choral Society
MONO recording, recorded in 1953, released in 1954
These are the 3 INDIVIDUAL LPs comprising the set - EMI Columbia 33CX 1146, 1147 & 1148 - original dark blue label & inner sleeves, made in Great Britain
NOT the 1959 box set CMS 806, which on the day of listing (January 13, 2024), I saw a copy for AUS$40
There was a "stereo" version, SMS 1006 released in 1965.
Also, not the later recording in stereo he made for Reader's Digest.
This is the first time I have seen all 3 LPs in the one place, as one set - rarely do you see a 70 year old recording in such great shape!
Please check photos for details of soloists, musical programming & condition of covers & LPs, which look pristine bar a superficial scratch on Side 6
I am selling as I do not have a mono cartridge to fully appreciate the glories of this recording.
Will ship in bubble wrap in sturdy LP mailer
