"Handsome, lanky 6'4," 23-year-old Van Cliburn, with his Southerner's air of innocent modesty and tremendous keyboard technique, in April 1958 carried off the Gold Medal at the International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow with a transcendent performance of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1. Timing and talent combined to make his triumph symbolic, heroic, and permanently memorable; the recording he made of it soon after, with Kiril Kondrashin conducting the RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra, is warmly glowing with an incomparable magic that has kept his performance competitive with later interpreters decade after decade." - AMG.

This is an RCA "Shaded Dog" Living Stereo recording from 1958. The RCA "Dogs" are considered to be of true Audiophile quality. This recording is no exception.

This is an Early pressing with 3S/3S as part of it's Matrix.

The record is Exc+.
The jacket is VG.
The LP plays NM.

An absolutely immaculate recording in every way! The Piano sounds "Live" and in perfect proportion to the Orchestra, if somewhat forward. The imaging of the Piano is rock-solid with no "wander" in any of the registers. Dynamics range from dead silence to thundering Crescendo's. The soundstage is wide and deep with a highly defined "space" for each instrument.
Surface noise is limited to an occasional extremely low-level "crackle" or "tick" (very few) and only on virtually dead-quiet passages.

Each record is washed on a VPI cleaning machine using a proprietary 3-5 agent process which is determined by the needs of the individual record. Each record is then listened to 100% to insure that the posted description is exactly what you can expect to get.
