I Grandi Musicisti (2)

Beware-This is the 12” vinyl series Second series published by Fratelli Fabbri Editori. This was a series of 96 12” LP’s, dedicated to classical compositions and their performers.. They issued one record every Friday, starting in 1978, ending in 1980. You could purchase them at newsstands or have a postal subscription. The records were accompanied by booklets with historical information about the artist, music, instruments etcetera. There were 12 boxes or folders, in which you could collect them. The recordings were probably the same as used for I Grandi Musicisti. It looks like this series was repressed in 1981 and 1982.
