Description
OK, the "official" name for this album is Ballet Favorites. Collectors in the know understand it's actually half of the legendary Soria Series box Royal Ballet Gala. You're missing selections from the Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake, La Boutique Fantasque, and Les Sylphides, which were not complete anyways. The good news is, you get to hear what the set sounds like (very closely so), with a fraction of the cost! Even this version is quite rare!
Recording location/date: Kingsway Hall/13-16 Jan,. 1959
Issued: 1967
Record condition: EX+/EX (some light scuffs/rubbing marks but plays well)
Cover condition: EX+ (slight bottom edge wear but solid)
Stamper: 2S/2S maroon label first pressing
Producer: Michael Williamson
Engeers: Kenneth Wilkinson
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!
