The box is in fine condition, some very light fading at the top (see photo in listing). The photo of young Stravinsky has some scratches on it (see photo in listing) and the photo of old Stravinsky has a corner that is peeling every so slightly (see photo in listing). The plastic cover is missing the bottom panel (see photo in listing). All records are in unplayed perfect condition save LP 5, Record 1, Side 1 (L'Oiseau de feu) which has been played. There is some light wear at the bottom inside sleeves of LPs 1,2,5,6,7, and 8 (see photo in listing) but is very slight (the sleeve stuck together from being so tight in storage. The rest are in perfect condition. The major damage is the record sleeve for LP 5, Record 1 which has crumpling and a tear (see photo in listing).

Igor Stravinsky: The Recorded Legacy is CBS Masterworks' massive box of 31 LPs, released in 1981 to commemorate the100th anniversary of Stravinsky's birth year 1882. The vast majority of Stravinsky's recordings were made for CBS Masterworks starting in 1957 -- when he was 75 years old -- and extending to 1967, when he made his last public appearances.

Igor Stravinsky: The Recorded Legacy includes, in one way or another, some 90 percent of the music Stravinsky is known to have composed. Save the inclusion of both The Firebird Ballet and its corresponding suite, alternate incarnations of works are not found here nor are several of Stravinsky's other piano pieces or the Three Pieces for String Quartet.

Apart from that, Igor Stravinsky: The Recorded Legacy runs the ‘Stravinskian’ gamut, from the opera The Rake's Progress in its entirety to Epitaphium, a late career tidbit lasting all of 70 seconds.
