Well, well - quelle surprise!Originally Posted by Marco
Jerry, when's your next charity haul gonna be? I'm wanting to add more (quality music) to my collection of classical music, and it's been ages since your last one....
I've got a nice big space ready for all that Shossy you're gunna be sending me!
Marco.
Went in to the charity shop yesterday to do my regular Friday afternoon stint ... BINGO! A new donation of loads of LPs, including some very nice classicals.
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
The above 6 LPs here ....
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.
EMI SLS 895
£2 per LP plus actual postage. All nett money goes to the Cancer Research UK charity.
___
More to be listed this weekend, I hope.

Sorry Keith - looks like Marco just pipped you to the Delius. Nice LP, but it's worth the £ just for the cover!
Ha, yeah, I know, Marco ... it's a bit of a pain that's all. Just me being lazy.P.S Taking pics, so that you can see the covers, is a great idea. Please do this, as matter of course, in future
OK ... I'll see what I can do from now on!
... and MORE !!! ...
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!
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!
SOLDMendelssohn & Tchaikovsky violin concertos. Pinchas Zukerman. CBS 72768. NM.
£2.
Mozart piano concertos 20 & 23. Barenboim and the ECO. EMI ASD 2318. NM. Wonderful music!
£2
Beethoven piano sonatas op 7, 79 & 101. Barenboim. EMI HQS 1205. NM.
£2
Vivaldi - Four Seasons. With the excellent Polish violinist Henryk Szeryng and the English Chamber Orch. Philips Universo 6580 002. NM.
£2
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!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!
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!
SOLDMozart violin concertos 4 & 5. Zukerman (violin) and Barenboim with the ECO. CBS 72859. NM.
£2
Beethoven Piano Concerto #5. Wilhelm Kempf (piano) - Ferdinand Leitner conducts the Berlin Phil. DG 138 777. This might just be my fave recording of this "Emperor" of concertos! NM
£2
Here they is ....
More later ....??
