Description
SAX 5283 COLUMBIA MAHLER No 4 GEORGE SZELL JUDITH RASKIN CLEVELAND ORCH EX/VG. 1966. Runout matrix numbers MS 6833 A-1E/ B-1E. Label numbers are MS.6833A/B and of course SAX 5283.The disc is in lovely NM condition with clean and bright labels and playing surfaces and minimal or no spindle wear - looks barely ever played. Both sides play beautifully with very quiet playing surfaces with minimal or no detectable background noise apart from a couple of faint clicks/pops for a couple of seconds towards the end of side 1, track 2 and just a few other barely audible clicks here and there. There are one or two very faint barely visible surface scratches/ scuffs but these are barely audible if at all.The cover is in very good, clean and bright condition commensurate with age with just some light surface creases to the laminate and a little tanning to the spine commensurate with the usual exposure to light while stored on shelf. The opening edge has very little signs of wear indicating that the disc has had little use over the years. The plain inner sleeve is in good, clean and undamaged condition with just a little light surface creasing. A V.R.P Valuable Record Protector sleeve is included as per photo. A truly wonderful performance of this great symphony with lovely singing by Raskin in the 4th movement. Generally regarded as the finest recording ever of this symphony and one of the greatest highlights of Szell's partnership with the Cleveland Orchestra.
