LPM 18193  TCHAIKOVSKY: SYMPHONY No. 6    IGOR MARKEVITCH / BERLIN PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA

DG  GERMANY 1960  MONO   ALLE HERSTELLER TULIP RIM    NM / EX+

STRANGE THAT THIS MONO RECORDING, WHICH PROBABLY DATES FROM AROUND 1957, WAS ISSUED SO LATE. PERHAPS DG DID NOT WANT TO COMPROMISE THE SUCCESS - AND THE SALES - OF THE FAMOUS FRICSAY / BPO RECORDING OF THE SAME WORK. FASCINATING TO COMPARE THIS FIRST MARKEVITCH READING WITH HIS 1962 STEREO VERSION WITH THE LSO FOR PHILIPS.
