MENDELSSOHN A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM LP
Mendelssohn “A Midsummer Nights Dream” London FFSS CS 6001 Blue Back
Peter Maag conducting The London Symphony Orchestra with Jennifer Vyvyan (Soprano); Marion Lowe (Soprano) and female Chorus of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.
This performance has been critically reviewed for over 30 years as one of the best of Mendelssohn’s delightful score. It is a rendition of great warmth and verve. The Kingsway Hall acoustics result in sound that is a model of concert hall realism. Listen to the Scherzo and you’ll love your 10th row seat: an up close picture of the orchestra with air around the instruments and superb imaging and depth. The one sonic detraction is the bright high strings-typical of London/Decca sound of its era. Nevertheless, a clear winner: Recorded February, 1957, Kingsway Hall. Kenneth E. Wilkinson, engineer.

How We Grade
We use a conservative method of grading the condition of everything we sell. All recordings are visually inspected using our customized grading system.
Still-Sealed Mint (SS): When someone says something’s “Mint condition,” this is what they’re talking about. The album is sealed in its original packaging and has never been played.
Near Mint (NM): This is the highest grade for records that have been played. The album is in excellent condition and shows no visible signs of wear or damage that will affect sound quality.
VG+: While not flawless, the condition is very good, showing only minimal signs of use. Any visible blemishes should have minimal affect on play quality, though light surface noise maybe present at very quiet portions or between tracks. This is a record that should satisfy all but the most strict of collectors. There may be slight ring or cover wear, or minor writing on the cover.
VG: Vinyl may have scratches and/or other visual blemishes, but should play through without skipping or repeating. Light to moderate surface noise and/or crackle may be present, however not overly distracting. Covers may have moderate ring and/or edge wear, cut-outs / hole punches, or a moderate seam splits.
VG- and below: Let’s be honest: sound quality is low and the cover may be in very poor shape. We consider any item graded at or below VG- as a LOW GRADE item. We only sell albums rated VG- and above unless a record is so rare that its presence in the collection transcends the poor quality of the vinyl or cover.
