Vox PL-8430 (c. 1958)
Not much is documented about the Vox PL-8430 beyond one period review. That review gives the basics. It was a classical LP pairing Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 5 in D, K. 175 with Concerto No. 20. High Fidelity (October 1958, p.115) covered it in a comparison of two K. 175 editions. It named pianist Miss Haebler and the Vienna Symphony under Hans Swarowsky as the performers, and listed the price at $4.98.
The reviewer found the solo playing neat and musicianly, and the orchestra sounded real. The oboes were generally on pitch, and the conductor was rarely caught napping at an entrance. The Andante got special praise as especially lovely. No recording dates, matrix numbers, cover art or production years have surfaced.
