Fiedler. London Symphony - Grieg Peer Gynt LP (Japan First Pressing London WB FFSS King Records)

Product Description

This is a masterpiece recording of Grieg's representative incidental music 《Peer Gynt》, performed by the renowned Norwegian conductor Odd Eivind Fladstad and the London Symphony Orchestra. Recorded in 1958 at Kingsway Hall in London, this is a representative Decca orchestral recording from the early stereo era, and the British pressing is the well-known among collectors as Decca SXL 2012. This record is not the British pressing, but the early 1962 Japanese King Records production of London FFSS Stereo, with catalog number SLC 1149. In particular, some London SLC records from this period in Japan are known to be pressings connected to the British Decca ZAL matrix system, giving this record a different charm compared to later Japanese reissues. It includes representative masterpieces from 《Peer Gynt》 such as ‘Morning Mood’, ‘Death of Aase’, ‘Anitra's Dance’, ‘In the Hall of the Mountain King’, and ‘Solveig's Song'. This is a record where you can enjoy Fladstad's unique Nordic atmosphere, the rich strings of the London Symphony, and the wide sense of space and dynamics characteristic of early FFSS recordings. While the original British Decca SXL pressing is currently traded at quite high prices, making it a burden, the early Japanese London SLC has the advantage of allowing you to enjoy the same historical recording at a more reasonable price while also appreciating the collecting value of the pressing itself.
