... rare FURTWANGLER SOCIETY Private Press vinyl 2LP set feat. the famous 1953 Berlin live recordings !!

rare German first press limited edition vinyl 2LP set released on PRIVATE PRESS "Gesellschaft der Freunde Wilhelm Furtwänglers e.V." label with catalognumber F666624/25. 

Beautiful foldout cover with fantastic artwork inside, original inner sleeves, and vinyl in pristine NEARMINT/MINT condition - vinyl looks unplayed! 

Please note that same as all copies this one also has this tiny pressing bulb on record 2 first track "Presto" on side 2, which is lightly audible for a couple of rounds. I have never seen a copy which does not have this small pressing fault. Seems all copies manufactured at the time have this. Please do not bid if you have a problem with this ...

Legendary live performances by Wilhelm Furtwangler conducting the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra recorded with superb audiophile soundquality ... see photos.
