Description
The Reader's Digest sets are constantly snubbed by collectors as cheesy mood record set for seniors. But there are definitely some outstanding exceptions. I'm offering four sets that should belong to the collection of any serious classical music lovers or audiophiles.
This set has some popular (and not so popular!), "exotic" orchestral works, all superbly conducted by the best freelance conductors in Europe and all done by the great Decca team. Several of these have been reissued by Chesky and other audiophile labels, indicating the high quality of the engineering. Thoroughly enjoyable, musically and sonically!
Record condition:EX+/NM-/NM/NM-/EX+/EX+/NM/NM-/EX/EX+/NM/NM/NM-/NM/NM-/NM-/NM-/NM-/EX/NM- (some very light rubbing marks, all play well)
Box condition: NM-
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!
