Annie Fischer: Mozart Concerti K. 466 & K. 488 - Columbia SAX 2335 (b/s ED1)

ITEM DESCRIPTION:

This gramophone classic and rare LP from Columbia (SAX 2335, English EMI pressing, blue/silver label – ED1, stereo, original inner sleeve included) features the wonderful Annie Fischer in radiant accounts of Mozart's Piano Concertos No. 20 in D minor K. 466 and No. 23 in A Major K. 488, both taped in 1959 with Sir Adrian Boult and the Philharmonia Orchestra – these recordings can withstand the most exalted comparisons, be it with Schnabel, Casadesus, Periaha, Uchida, et al. Incidentally, in K. 466, she plays Beethoven's cadenzas.

 

If this were all that Annie Fischer left us we would still be forever in her debt. Happily, the engineering is quite fine too – outstanding!

 

Incidentally, on the reverse side of the jacket there are superb liner notes – in English only – by Burnett James.

 

CONDITION – PLEASE READ VERY CAREFULLY:

The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.

 

The condition of the jacket is VERY GOOD. There is bumping at corners, discoloration, and a small bit of writing to the rear panel, but that is all. However, there are are no seamsplits, bends, owners' markings, or other defects, and the album remains solid, bright, glossy, and attractive – overall, a very good collector's copy.

 

The condition of the LP itself is EXCELLENT. Although the surfaces are not absolutely silent, really this is a fine copy and the playback is quite superb. Those requiring CD silent surfaces are kindly advised to look elsewhere. Overall, this rates as an excellent collector's copy.
