A Pristine, Original Stereo album from London Records (US) offering the great Georg Solti leading the peerless Chicago Symphony Orchestra in their mutual heyday with stunning renditions of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and Leonore Overture No. 3. A Grammy-Winning Performance and masterly recording achievement. Penguin Classical Guide (2nd Edition) loved it all and rightly called this "a "Big and Bold reading, tense but with a warm expansive slow movement and a really joyful account of the finale." {Exactly Right!} Record dates from 1976 and is in Near-Mint Condition. First Edition and First Pressings of this London (US) issue. Disk Deadwax Machine Stamped 1C (Side 1) and 1B (Side 2). Play Grading shows super-quiet disk surfaces and gorgeous, rich, warm London sonics. Jacket also Near-Mint, glossy face surfaces and all seams intact. Not a Cut-Out. A real audio treat from first to last enabling all listeners (and Solti fans in particular) to hear anew and re-learn the core, deep roots of Beethoven's unprecedented compositional genius.
