RACHMANINOV - played by the composer his very self - Piano Concerto #1, Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Both with the Philadelphia orch, the pC condcuetd by Ormandy (rec. 1939/40) and the Rhapsody conducted by Stokowski (rec. 1934). Mono, obviously, but very nice recording with amazing depth to the mono image. Very clean, undistorted. Fairly high background noise, in keeping with the age of teh recording. I'd rate it Ex+ as an LP.
HMV CSLP 509
Evelyn Rothwell (aka Lady Barbirolli) plays oboe accompanied by her hubby, "Glorious John" Barbirolli with his Halle Orch. - oboe concertos by Haydn, Corelli, Pergolesi. Mono again. LP is Ex.
PYE CCL 30127
Franck Symphonic Variations for piano & orchestra, and Rimsky-Korsakov Piano Concerto The great Paul Badura Skoda is the pianist, with Artur Rodzinski conducting the Philharmonic Symphony Orch of London. Mono again, but very very nice recording and the LP is in Ex/NM condition.
NIXA / Westminster WLP 20026
SCHUBERT Die Schone Mullerin song cycle. Aksel Schiotz sings accomapnied by the late but very great Gerald Moore on the piano. Recorded in 1945 this is not a stereo audiophile extravaganza! But for the True Collector this is a bit of a gem. NM is the best description of the condition.
ODEON MOAK 1. Made in Denmark.
SOLDMENDELSSOHN the 2 Piano Concertos. Peter Katin plays with the LSO / Anthony Collins. Another lovely mono original. Ex.
Decca LXT 5201
SOLDDELIUS Brigg Fair, First Cuckoo, Walk to Paradise Garden, Song of Summer. Anthony Collins conducts the LSO. Lovely interpretations. Ex.
Decca LXT 2788

also ...
SOLDJacqueline du Pre in a 3 LP box set of cello concertos by Schumann (Barenboim conducting), Dvorak (Barenboim), 2 by Haydn (with Barbirolli & Barenboim conducting) and Elgar (the legendary recording with Barbirolli). Not sure about the condition here, a RCM would be good and may sort them out nicely. Not bad but VG+, before a go with a RCM, I think.

Hmm ... not sure what to make of this one. I've never seen it before, and I've been classical LP hunting for more years than I care to remember! :wheniwasaboy:
Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto #1 and Franck Symphonic Variations. John Ogdon, John Barbirolli and the Philharmonia on HMV ASD 542. Stereo from 1963.
It could defo do with a RCM.
£5 ... or is that cheeky? Open to offer!

And, ah, another interesting LP. Mono. But the cover makes great play of the sound quality ... "startlingly realistic - never before achieved by recorded sound". It even has an oscilloscope display of a top C played on a concert grand on the front cover! :lol: The sound Quality is indeed quite startling - a real percussive thwack to it!
Anyways, it strikes me as a bit of a collector's item ... and is priced accordingly! :eyebrows:
SOLDTchaikovsky Piano Concerto #1 - Liszt hungarian Fantasia. The superb Julius Katchen in the pianist. DECCA LXT 5164.
Let's see if I can get £5 for charity on this one! And, oh yes, it's NM!
