Description

A stellar cast makes this Decca two-disc sampler a genuine pleasure: Dutoit and the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal bring authentic French authority, Pascal Rogé is characteristically idiomatic at the piano, and violinists Joshua Bell and Kyung-Wha Chung dazzle. Marilyn Horne adds further lustre. An ideal introduction to Saint-Saëns from one of the great classical labels.

This is a used CD. The disc and case have been inspected and are in good condition. Broken or damaged jewel cases will be replaced before dispatch.

Condition

Disc Very Good Plus (VG+)
A few minor scuffs/scratches. This has been played, but handled with good care — and certainly not abused.
Case/Sleeve Very Good Plus (VG+)
Slight wear, marks, indentations, it may possibly have a cut-out hole (or similar).
