Overseas shipping costs have increased substantially. Please contact me before purchase to combine records and reduce shipping costs to your country. Please note that the minimum possible international postage rate already covers parcels up to 2kg, so combining several records is usually the most cost-effective option.

Performance & Sound:
A legendary recording of Stravinsky's Petrushka, one of Ferenc Fricsay’s most intense and atmospheric interpretations.
The 1958 DGG mono master delivers exceptional transparency, dynamic contrasts, and precision — often cited as a reference among mid-century German recordings.

Collector Note:
This white label Musterplatte edition was pressed in very limited numbers for DGG’s internal review and radio circulation — predating commercial release copies. An exceptional rarity in this condition.
