ARTURO BENEDETTI MICHELANGELI with THE PHILHARMONIA ORCHESTRA conducted by ETTORE GRACIS Rachmaninov: Concerto No. 4 in G minor / Ravel: Concerto in G Major (1959 UK HMV Gold and Cream label stereo vinyl LP. Performed by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli with the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Ettore Gracis. In addition to being one of the greatest pianists of all time, Michelangeli was a legendary perfectionist and as a result is recorded repertoire is unusually small. However, his reading of Rachmaninov's Concerto No. 4 is widely held up ascomparable to that of Rachmaninov himself and his interpretation of Ravel was considered similarly definative - making this very early stereo recording on the legendary HMV gold and cream label impossibly desirable. Better still, the record is in faboulous condition for it's age. The laminated flipback picture sleeve has a small tear on the open edge and lower flipback, but is in remarkably clean and bright condition despite being well over fifty years old The original inner sleeve is in mint condition whilst the disc has a couple of very light surface marks but is otherwise similarly in fantastic condition and the all important labels are perfect - excepting, of course, the discrete "Factory Sample - Not for sale" sticker on side two. A stunning, timewarp copy of a highly sought after recording! ASD255)
