Salvador Bacarisse: Concertino en la menor para Guitarra y Orquesta Op. 72; Ernesto Halffter: Concierto Para Guitarra Y Orquesta /
Narciso Yepes (guitar), Odón Alonso (conductor), Orquesta Sinfónica de la R.TV. Española [DG]

I recently found this LP at a thrift shop, and I really dig it. Lovely music! . . . Unfortunately, the vinyl has seen better days. Even after cleaning it repeatedly with my record vac, there's a steady stream of crackles and pops. Oh well. At least it doesn't skip.

. . . I guess I can't really complain about the LP condition when I paid a dollar for it. ;) 

 

I love these thriftshops ! especially because you never know what t find ! For 1 euro that is a good record.

Oh yes, great fun. I enjoy perusing those places. Goodwill. Salvation Army. Junk stores. All of them. :) 

Of course, on some level it doesn't make sense -- from either a time or money perspective. Nearly everything in those places is garbage.  But there is an undeniable thrill when you stumble across a hidden gem. . .  The same day I found Narciso Yepes, I also got the MJQ & Laurindo Almeida LP Collaboration, one of the few MJQ Atlantics that I didn't have. NM condition. $1.

Those sorts of scores are what make it fun.

This record contains especially music written by Chopin. and i am a fan. I heard a lot o.f his music played by cortot, Arrau, Harasiewicz, Rubinstein, francois, Lipatti but from the first moment i putted the the needle on the record and the music started to play i did not knew what was happening.... Totally different from what i thought to knew.

What i am trying to say and thought many times about this fenomenon. What is purism ? Does it exists ? Does it survive ? Is a musical thought of a composer pure ? etc. etc.

This record contains also a  1955 recording of harasiewicz's Mazurka's
