Fabulous UK EMI pressing with the first HMV label. The LP is MINT and appears unplayed. There is no sign of spider tracery around the spindle hole. The jacket is MINT with lamination intact front and back. Everything is clean and tidy.
This was the first recording to bring the brilliant Michelangeli to the attention of music lovers round the world. Of a Michelangeli concert at Carnegie Hall, Harold Schonberg of The New York Times wrote: "His fingers can no more hit a wrong note or smudge a passage than a bullet can be veered off course once it has been fired...." A superb pianist in both concertos, the record became a classic and is still sought after by knowledgeable collectors. Gr-reat performances! Reference quality sound!
