Elgar Cello Concerto - which Du Pre recording to buy?

Posted by Heifetz (A) on January 24, 2015 at 03:08:16

Greetings,
I'm interested in buying a vinyl performance of Elgar Cello Concerto. Of course, Du Pre seems to be the quintessential performance and I absolutlely love it. I have it on cd but now would like it on vinyl. Du pre, according to Discogs has made two records - 1. with Barbarolli, 1965 HMV 2. with her husband Barenboim CBS 1976

Whilst both performances are great I'm wondering if anyone has a preference or knowledge about the best engineered - sonic quality pressing.

Does anyone have the Paul Tortelier Vinyl also HMV 1973 ?

Your comments would be most grateful.
Thx so much, Bob
