ITEM DESCRIPTION:
This handsome LP from Deutsche Grammophon (SLPM 138 659, German pressing, tulip label, stereo) features Evgeni Mravinsky and the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra's trenchant and shattering account of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 in B minor Op. 74 'Pathetique', recorded in the rich acoustics of the Grosser Saal of the Musikverien, Vienna on 9/10 November 1960, and a truly magnificent performance by any measure.
This towering performance remains among the finest discs in Marvinsky's distinguished recorded legacy. It can withstand the most exalted comparisons, be it with Karajan, Bernstein, Markevitch, Pletnev, et al. The sound is of DG's finest analogue quality – what a magnificent orchestra the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra was at this time.
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 slight bumping/wear at corners, as well as mild discoloration to the rear panel, but that is all. There are no seamsplits, bends, owners' markings, or other defects, and the album remains solid, bright, glossy, and highly attractive – overall, an excellent collector's copy.
The condition of the LP itself is EXCELLENT. While there are a few slightly noisy passages, in general the playback is quite fine. However, those requiring a flawless or near-MINT copy are kindly advised to look elsewhere. Overall, this rates as an excellent collector's copy.
