Description

Rare vintage HMV 12" shellac record featuring Sibelius' beloved 'Karelia Suite Op.11 Intermezzo' under the masterful direction of Sir Thomas Beecham. This classic 78 RPM recording showcases one of Finland's greatest symphonic works on the prestigious His Master's Voice red label, catalog number D.B.6248.

This collectible recording features:

  • Iconic HMV red label with the famous Nipper dog and gramophone trademark
  • Sir Thomas Beecham's renowned interpretation of Sibelius' patriotic masterpiece
  • Authentic shellac pressing from the golden age of classical recording
  • 12-inch format providing superior sound quality for orchestral works
  • Historic documentation of early 20th century classical performance practice
  • Catalog number D.B.6248 marking this as an original HMV pressing

The record shows typical age-related surface wear and scuff marks consistent with vintage shellac records from this era, but remains in good playable condition. The distinctive red HMV label displays some period-appropriate discoloration while maintaining clear legibility. An exceptional piece of classical music history that would make a prized addition to any vintage record collection or classical music enthusiast's library.
