Description: Beethoven Symphony No. 7 in A MajorBruno Walter conducting the "Philharmonic-Symphony of New York"Columbia Masterworks, First Pressing, Canada 1951Mono -Record is visually in Very Good Condition for its age; there are bugs and pops/crackles which cannot be improved even with professional cleaning-Cardboard outer sleeve in Very Good Condition for its age - sound and stable, little discoloration-Original Inner Sleeve not included, record comes in a new matte lined inner sleeve Bruno Walter's early post-war rendition of Beethoven's 7th with the "Philharmonic-Symphony of New York" is interesting listening indeed. Bruno Walter starts pretty straight and quite conventional, but borders tempo-madness in the Finale movement. Due to technical imperfections, listening requires some patience, but you are rewarded with Walter's unfiltered musical approach (at least in my opinion). A Historical document (First Pressing Canada 1951) worthy of any collection. Please note: All records come from an extensive private collection, I'm not a dealer, I'm a collector myself - and a professional musician. The collection is mostly classical, but there are some strays into other fields like Jazz, Rock, Pop, Country, etc.Whenever feasible, the original inner record sleeves are preserved,representing an essential part of the “historical object”. Should inner sleeves be too deteriorated or missing, they are replaced by professional quality paper sleeves OR matte lined sleeves. The original sleeve, if available, will always be included with your delivery.All records have been thoroughly inspected (with the exception of factory sealed specimens, of course). Practically all records (except sealed ones, of course) have been thoroughly cleaned, using a professional record washer. Each record will reach you as clean and crackle-free as can be achieved by this process. However, imperfections “built into” the surface, due to a less-than-ideal pressing/manufacturing process, or wear, cannot be eliminated by cleaning – a less-than-perfect pressing or a worn record can't be healed by cleaning. Should there be noteworthy audible and/or visible imperfections, these will be detailed in the description of the record. The occasional pop and crackle, as well as the typical slight rubbing or grinding noises caused by tiny surface imperfections in the groove flanks, are typical for vinyl records and NOT A REASON FOR COMPLAINT. Please don't buy if you think you can't accept this. Please carefully check all pictures – pictures are considered part of the description. All sales are final. All records are adequately packaged for shipping. A separate outer plastic sleeve is provided only if the original outer sleeve shows extensive wear and tear and has become physically unstable. Needless to say, since record albums represent historic collectibles, no repair of worn or deteriorated outer/inner sleeves is usually attempted – at least not by this seller. Historic repair attempts from possible former owners will be clearly recognizable as such and left in original condition.International buyers, please note that import duties, taxes, and charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs regulations prior to purchase. Thank You!
