Vintage recording of the London Symphony Orchestra performing Handel's Messiah, original Dublin version (1742).
Recording conducted by Hermann Scherchen, including the London Philharmonic Choir.
A Nixa recording, XWN 3306, recorded by Westminster in London.
Three LPs. Westminster Hi-Fi.
Unopened, unplayed, in original sealed plastic cover (though there are a couple small openings in the plastic, see photos). There's a small light-orange mark on the spine above the "T" in WEST... that I can see through the plastic; not sure how it got there because there's no opening in the plastic there, but otherwise the album looks pristine all around.
This was in my father's record collection. A great vintage recording by a great orchestra in mint condition.
