New Old Stock. Complete set, never played or displayed. Come with protective foam and case. Has been sitting in its protective case for its entire life, and only been taken out for picturing. Some surface signs through handling, a very small dent on the bottom corner. Otherwise intact. The box weights 17kg, and some handling ware can be expected. When bought from the retailer, this particular one was hand selected from a batch of 20+ sets, and represents minimal damage after all the transport (from Europe). Other sellers will just give you stock photo, but I am the one who appreciate perfect transparency. The set will be packed on top of the existing protective package, and sent with tracking number. I pack very well， and proudly refer to my feedback history. Pre-shipping photo will be supplied. Highly collectable item, of HUGE value and HUGE shipping cost, strictly serious buyer only. Strictly sold as is. Any questions are welcome before buying. International buyers welcome. Pick up from 2155 welcome. Meetings will follow local government's guidance about gathering. Thanks for watching!

Official information as follows.

Nearly 30 years after his death HERBERT von KARAJAN continues to embody the ideals of the art of conducting. He remains the most iconic conductor of the 20th century and the benchmark by which all others are judged. In his 50 years as a DG artist he sold over 200 million copies of his recordings across all formats.

356 discs present the totality of Herbert von Karajan s output for the Yellow Label and Decca and hence perhaps the most magnificent legacy in the history of recorded music. This stretches from the 1939 release of Mozart s Die Zauberflöte with the Berlin Staatskapelle to his last recordings on 23 April 1989 of Bruckner s Seventh Symphony with the Vienna Philharmonic, where we sense the conductor his health finally fading - infusing the music with contemplations about life and death.
