5 x 12" on 78 rpm, still plays good!

CONDITON COVER JACKET: Cover has some edge wear, but cover made of hard paper holds with some tape on sides. Sleeves for records hold very good. G+ to VG for 60+ years old!

VINYL: shellac all used and little bit warped at end but no effect on play. Cleaned from dust, but if cleaned better should produce cleaner sound and prevent skips.

SOUND: I played each record. They all play solid, background noise is not so present! Orchestra dominates the sound if recorded louder, but quiet parts have some sh and tick sounds heard! OVERALL SOLID PLAY for 78 rpm standards -  G+++

ARTIST: RUDOLF SERKIN - Rudolf Serkin (28 March 1903 – 8 May 1991) was a Bohemian-born pianist. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest Beethoven interpreters of the twentieth century. Serkin was born in Eger, Bohemia, Austro-Hungarian Empire (now Cheb, Czech Republic), to a Russian Jewish family. His father, Mordko Serkin, "had been a Russian basso, and taught him to read music before he could read words. Hailed as a child prodigy, he was sent to Vienna at the age of 9, where he studied piano with Richard Robert and, later, composition with Joseph Marx, making his public debut with the Vienna Philharmonic at 12.    NOTE – This is an old, used and heavy item!
