SERGEI PROKOFIEV
(SPELLED 'PROKOFIEFF' ON THE LABELS)
SYMPHONY IN D MAJOR, OP. 25
Scherzo and March (From 'The Love for Three Oranges')
VICTOR 7196 & 7197 (Two 78 rpm Discs)
Boston Symphony Orchestra, Serge Koussevitzky, Conducting
I believe, from my research, this is a recording made in April 22, 1929 in Symphony Hall, Boston. The discs may have been released in the early 30s. When I acquired these, they were inside a different 78 disc cover. Thus, no cover is included. I have detailed the markings on the labels and vinyl below to aid someone more knowledgeable in identifying them.
MARKINGS:
Label: 7196-A: 1st Movement-Allegro Vinyl: V.E. inside an oval (top); 7196A x2 (bottom); 1 above an R (left)
Label: 7196-B: 2nd Movement-Larghetto; 3rd Movement-Gavotte Vinyl: V.E. inside oval (top); 7196B (bottom); 4 (left)
Label: 7197-A: 4th Movement-Finale-Molto vivace Vinyl: 7197A 2 (bottom); 2 (left)
Label: 7197-B: THE LOVE FOR THREE ORANGES- SCHERZO AND MARCH
Vinyl: V.E. inside an oval (top); 7197B x2 A (or inverted V) (bottom); 1 (left)
The discs appear to be in excellent condition, no scratches or visible wear. I do not have a 78 rpm turntable, so I haven't listened to them. This comes from a local collector who kept quite good care of his albums.
Vinyl: Very Good
Box Cover Not Included
