CONSTANTIN SILVESTRI conducts the PARIS CONSERVATOIRE ORCHESTRA Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto / Meditation (1960 UK first press MONO LP on the dark blue & gold Columbia label, as led by Leonid Kogan, considered one of the greatest violinists of the 20th century, front laminated flipback picture sleeve with original EMI inner. Obtained from a one previous owner collection, the sleeve is nice & clean & in Excellent condition with just a little faint ring wear. There are no tears or writing [faint stamp on back] & the artwork looks majestic. The vinyl is a high quality pressing with outstanding dynamic range. The vinyl is Excellent to Near Mint with few signs of use - it was a joy to play test the record & we can confirm no major clicks or any surface grievance that might hinder the enjoyment of this exceptional performance on vinyl. Note, it should be played on a mono-only setting for maximum clarity. Lastly, this is a bargain when compared to the 'SAX 2323' stereo version [a four figure sum record] & surely sounds just as nice! 33CX1711)
