On auction is a VERY SOUGHT AFTER BOX SET released in 1972 by COLUMBIA MASTERWORKS RECORDS M6X-31513 titled THE ART OF JOSEPH SZIGETI , In Honor of His 80th Birthday.  What makes this auction so special are two things:
FIRST = This set is STILL SEALED...never opened or played period
SECOND = This set came from the estate of The DIRECTOR OF PRODUCTION for CBS RECORDS EAST COAST DIVISION who worked from 1970 to the early 1980's.   He would receive copies of everything as part of his job and most of the time he would get them directly from the production floor. He stored every copy of releases during this time in storage inside sealed record boxes on metal shelves for years until he decided to sell the entire collection  recently.  Most of his records were either sealed, promotional or he took off the shrink before putting the sets in a box to preserve the cover from shrink wrap damage.  All his records were never played by him or anyone....stone mint copies.
This copy has a small amount of shrink that has started to separate towards the top and bottom corners...but the set is still sealed.
The 6 LP's include the following performances:
SIDE ONE = BACH: Concerto in D Minor for Violin and Orchestra SIDE TWO = HANDEL: Sonata in D Major for Violin Op1 No 13 SIDE THREE = BEETHOVEN: Sonata No 5 in F Major for Violin and Piano Op 24 SIDE FOUR = BEETHOVEN: Sonata No 10 in G Major for Violin and Piano Op 96 SIDE FIVE = MOZART: Concerto No 4 in D Major for Violin and Orchestra K 218 SIDE SIX = MENDELSSOHN: Concerto in E Minor for Violin and Orchestra SIDE SEVEN = BEETHOVEN: Concerto in D Major for Violin and Orchestra Op 61 SIDE EIGHT = BEETHOVEN: Concerto in D Major for Violin and Orchestra SIDE NINE = BRAHMS: Concerto in D Major for Violin and Orchestra Op 77 SIDE TEN = BRAHMS: Concerto in D Major for Violin and Orchestra (Conclusion) SIDE ELEVEN = PROKOFIEV: Concerto No 1 in D Major for Violin and Orchestra Op 19 SIDE TWELVE = BACH: Praeludium from Partita No 3 in E Major, for unaccompanied violin
