Today's vinyl score

Only one LP, but I have a few already.

It's Janos Starker playing the Brahms Cello Sonatas on Period SPL593. Starker was about 30 when these old mono recordings were made, so he is at the height of his powers.

It is very hard to find 50s monos from budget labels in nice condition, but this one seems almost unplayed. There are no spindle marks, and only a few very faint scuffs on the playing surface. It has some noise in places, but these labels used cheap vinyl and shoddy pressing, so I am not really surprised. There are also long passages that play completely clean.

I would estimate the value of this copy at $50-70; I paid less than ten bucks.
