A vintage UK mono vinyl edition of More Favourite Encores, performed by celebrated piano duo Cyril Smith and Phyllis Sellick using two pianos and three hands.
After Cyril Smith lost the use of his left hand following a stroke, the husband-and-wife musicians continued performing together using specially arranged three-hand repertoire. This 1967 album presents a varied collection of familiar classical pieces arranged for their distinctive partnership.
Released by His Master’s Voice in the UK with catalogue number CLP 3641. The record has the classic black HMV label with red lettering and is housed in a front-laminated picture sleeve.
